Spontaneous Disease in Animals and Humans
Many disease processes occur naturally in both domestic animals and human beings. At the North Carolina College of Veterinary Medicine we use the knowledge that we obtain from 30,000 patients a year to advance to our knowledge and understanding of these diseases in both animals and human beings.
Some of the more common disease processes observed in both animals and humans include those listed below. However there are many more, if you are interested to know more about comparative aspects of a disease that you do not see below, please ask.
