The question asks which vaccines can prevent a disease that is transmissible from dogs to humans. Let's analyze each option:

  1. Parvovirus: This virus primarily affects dogs and is not known to be transmissible to humans. Therefore, the parvovirus vaccine does not prevent a zoonotic disease.

  2. Enteric coronavirus: This virus affects the gastrointestinal system of dogs and is different from the human coronavirus. It is not known to be transmissible to humans. Therefore, the enteric coronavirus vaccine does not prevent a zoonotic disease.

  3. Leptospirosis: This is a bacterial disease that can be transmitted from animals, including dogs, to humans. The leptospirosis vaccine can prevent this zoonotic disease.

  4. Influenza: Canine influenza is specific to dogs and is not the same as human influenza. There is no evidence that canine influenza can be transmitted to humans. Therefore, the influenza vaccine for dogs does not prevent a zoonotic disease.

  5. Borrelia burgdorferi: This bacterium causes Lyme disease, which can be transmitted to humans through tick bites. The vaccine for Borrelia burgdorferi can help prevent Lyme disease in dogs, which indirectly reduces the risk of transmission to humans.

Summarizing the answer:

The vaccines that can prevent a disease that is transmissible from dogs to humans are:

  • Leptospirosis
  • Borrelia burgdorferi
