PERFROMANCE TASK 1
Mission 3
A tortoise was mocked by a hare for moving so slowly. Tired of the hare's complaints about
how slow he was on his feet, the tortoise eventually challenged the hare to a race. 'I'll race you,
hare, and I bet I'll win,' he declared.
The hare accepted the challenge, and a fox was located to establish the race's course and
determine who won at the end.
When the race began, the hare bolted to the front and made quick progress. He decided he
could afford to stop and rest because he was so far ahead of the tortoise. The tortoise was so far
behind that it couldn't hurt to take a break!
The hare, on the other hand, fell fast asleep, while the tortoise continued to plod along at
his plodding pace. He eventually made it to the finish line and won the race.
When the hare awoke, he was irritated with himself for sleeping. So he ran as fast as his
legs could take him to the finish line, but it was too late; the tortoise had already won.

TASK 1
Mission 1
1. Animals can sometimes carry harmful germs that can spread to people and cause illness –
these are known as zoonotic diseases or zoonoses. Zoonotic diseases are caused by harmful
germs like viruses, bacterial, parasites, and fungi. These germs can cause many different
types of illnesses in people and animals, ranging from mild to serious illness and even
death. Animals can sometimes appear healthy even when they are carrying germs that can
make people sick, depending on the zoonotic disease.
2. Examples of zoonotic diseases: Zoonotic influenza, Salmonellosis, West Nile virus,
Plague, Emerging coronaviruses (e.g., severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East
respiratory syndrome), Rabies, Brucellosis, and Lyme disease.
3. Because of the close connection between people and animals, it’s important to be aware of
the common ways people can get infected with germs that can cause zoonotic diseases.
These can include: Direct contact, Indirect contact, Vector-borne, Foodborne, and
Waterborne.
4. People can come in contact with animals in many places. This includes at home and away
from home, in places like petting zoos, fairs, schools, stores, and parks. Insects, like
mosquitoes and fleas, and ticks bite people and animals day and night. Thankfully, there
are things you can do to protect yourself and your family from zoonotic diseases.
Keep your hands clean
Know the simple things you can do to stay safe around your pets.
Prevent bites from mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.
Learn more about ways to handle food safely—whether it’s for yourself or your
family, your pet, or other animals.
Be aware of zoonotic diseases both at home, away from home (such as at petting
zoos or other animal exhibits), in childcare settings or schools and when you travel.
Avoid bites and scratches from animals.
5. Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and
people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to
humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses
are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.

Mission 2
A zoonosis is an infectious disease that has jumped from a non-human animal to humans.
Zoonotic pathogens may be bacterial, viral or parasitic, or may involve unconventional agents and
can spread to humans through direct contact or through food, water or the environment. They
represent a major public health problem around the world due to our close relationship with
animals in agriculture, as companions and in the natural environment. Zoonoses can also cause
disruptions in the production and trade of animal products for food and other uses.
Zoonoses comprise a large percentage of all newly identified infectious diseases as well as
many existing ones. Some diseases, such as HIV, begin as a zoonosis but later mutate into human-
only strains. Other zoonoses can cause recurring disease outbreaks, such as Ebola virus disease
and salmonellosis. Still others, such as the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, have the
potential to cause global pandemics.
Zoonotic pathogens can spread to humans through any contact point with domestic,
agricultural or wild animals. Markets selling the meat or by-products of wild animals are
particularly high risk due to the large number of new or undocumented pathogens known to exist
in some wild animal populations. Agricultural workers in areas with a high use of antibiotics for
farm animals may be at increased risk of pathogens resistant to current antimicrobial drugs. People
living adjacent to wilderness areas or in semi-urban areas with higher numbers of wild animals are
at risk of disease from animals such as rats, foxes or raccoons. Urbanization and the destruction of
natural habitats increase the risk of zoonotic diseases by increasing contact between humans and
wild animals.
