toenails, fingers, scalp and all other parts of human skin.

person having direct contact with infected patient or
sharing clothing or other accessories of the patient such

pets normally get the disease from surroundings stuff or
creatures such as rodent burrows, kennels or may be from
some other animals that are already infected. There are
