Transmission can also occur from activities that seem trivial and harmless, like letting a monkey riding on top of your head, a lot happens on the streets in Bali.

Microbes from the two varieties can even be assembled in your intestines, the virus evolved and make some 'dancing' to turn you into a host of infectious and deadly.

There were also outbreaks of disease caused by insect bites, rabies due to dog bites and other wild animals.

4. HIV/AIDS diseases

HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, originated from chimpanzees and other primates and the first human infection is estimated at least a century ago. The virus is damaging the immune system, opening the door to a host of deadly infections or cancer.

5. Cat brain parasite that is transmitted to humans

Weird parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects the brain more than half the human population, including about 50 million Americans. Estimated to increase the risk of neuroticism and can cause schizophrenia. The main cause is the cat's house, which is the sexual reproduction of microbes. This usually comes from cat feces.

6. Humans give cats the bacteria that cause stomach ulcers

Cats have been transmitted bacterium that causes peptic ulcers, Helicobacter pylori, an ancestor of mankind since thousands of years ago. And according to scientists, this disease is now spreading to other animals such as lions, zebras, and tigers.

7. Gorillas gave humans pubic lice crabs

Humans get pubic lice from gorillas about 3 million years ago. This disease is not transmitted through sexual contact with a gorilla, but with overnight stay or dining in gorilla nests. The scientists named the disease in the year 2007 'crab'.
