Which disease is not easily transmitted to humans through animal bites?

• A. Measles
• B. Herpes B-virus
• C. Cat-scratch fever
• D. Rabies

Answer: (A)

Measles is a viral infection primarily transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets and is not associated with transmission via animal bites. In contrast, the other diseases listed pose significant risks through contact with infected animal saliva or bites. Herpes B-virus, commonly associated with macaque monkeys, poses a serious risk to humans upon exposure through bites or scratches. Cat-scratch fever, caused by Bartonella henselae, is transmitted through scratches or bites from infected cats. Rabies, a life-threatening viral infection, is typically transmitted through the saliva of infected animals via bites. Therefore, measles stands out as a disease that is not easily transmitted through animal bites.
