> The domestic ferret, Mustela putorius furo, is a popular companion
> animal and is used in biomedical research. When compared with other
> companion mammals, primary bacterial and parasitic infections are
> less common in domestic ferrets. In countries such as the United
> States, pet ferrets are generally kept indoors, and the risk for
> exposure to primary bacterial and parasitic infectious agents is
> low. Companion, breeding, and working ferrets are commonly kept
> outdoors in other parts of the world, placing them at comparatively
> greater risk for exposure to infectious diseases. This article
> discusses clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment of bacterial and
> parasitic diseases of ferrets.
