    I suggest you start your research by doing the research. I hope it turns out well.

    There’s a long list here:

    I did a presentation on raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) in grad school – its rare and actually very interesting

    Go to. and type in “zoonotic disease” there are 6 answers to help you.

    You could do the usual presentation, or another idea might be to look at the origins of many diseases that were originally transfered to humans mutating and becoming human diseases:
    eg.
    horses = common cold
    cows = smallpox and Tuberculosis
    dogs = measles
    birds or pigs = flu

    Most of these occured in the distant past (ie, when we moved to farming and humans were now in close contact with animals), some like the flu was more likely in the past 600 years.

    Just a thought
