Abstract：
Exotic animals traded and kept as pets can transmit a variety of diseases to humans and other animals, and vice versa. Therefore, it is essential for pet owners, particularly vulnerable groups, to be informed about associated risks. Veterinarians play a crucial role in informing pet owners about health risks associated with zoonotic pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and should, therefore, have good communication skills to effectively transfer information to pet owners. Thus, exotic pet owners in Germany were surveyed on animal husbandry, veterinary consultation and risk communication. To evaluate the perception of communication, a self-developed questionnaire was used to derive a communication score. The perception of veterinarian communication received a high average score showing a high level of satisfaction. The duration of the veterinarian-client relationship was associated with better communication perception, and the frequency of communication on zoonoses and AMR was associated with the presence of a permanent veterinarian. However, the results indicated that the frequency of disseminated information on zoonoses and/or AMR from veterinarians was lower than desired by the pet owners. Therefore, more educational material on zoonoses and AMR should be made available, and the awareness concerning risk communication should be increased by further education and training at universities.
摘要：
作为宠物交易和饲养的外来动物可以将多种疾病传播给人类和其他动物，反之亦然。因此,这对宠物主人来说是必不可少的，特别是弱势群体，了解相关风险。兽医在告知宠物主人与人畜共患病原体和抗菌素耐药性（AMR）相关的健康风险方面发挥着至关重要的作用，因此,具有良好的沟通能力，可以有效地将信息传递给宠物主人。因此，德国异国情调的宠物主人对畜牧业进行了调查，兽医咨询和风险沟通。为了评估沟通的感知，使用自行编制的问卷得出沟通评分.对兽医交流的感知获得了很高的平均得分，显示出很高的满意度。兽医-客户关系的持续时间与更好的沟通感知相关，人畜共患病和AMR的交流频率与常任兽医的存在有关。然而,结果表明,兽医传播人畜共患病和/或AMR信息的频率低于宠物主人的期望.因此,应该提供更多关于人畜共患病和AMR的教育材料，应通过大学的进一步教育和培训来提高对风险沟通的认识。
