New strategies for continuous dissemination of multidisciplinary research findings related to zoonotic bacterial diseases are hence needed. keywords: animal; antibiotic; bacteria; bites; diseases; dog; food; health; humans; infections; resistance; treatment; use; vector; zoonoses; zoonotic cache: cord-001427-qw1e5cof.txt plain text: cord-001427-qw1e5cof.txt item: #2 of 53 id: cord-253211-klewqw7u author: Zhang, Yan title: Factors Influencing Mental Health of Medical Workers During the COVID-19 Outbreak date: 2020-09-22 words: 4045 flesch: 39 summary: This is also a wake-up call for psychological workers to remind us to do a good job of psychological intervention and health care even after illness.
