View submission: Are there any plagues in domesticated animals that came from human-borne diseases?
Not sure if they count as domestic but iirc ferrets can catch human flu.

Yes, there are a vast number of animals that have been infected with influenza from humans - cats, dogs, turkeys, etc etc; similarly COVID has sporadically infected many, many different species. I tried to limit the topic to animals that have been repeatedly or permanently (endemically) infected.
