You could also say, "A person may be infected with the disease by a contagious animal". The words "contagious" and "infectious" both refer to epidemic diseases and ways in which they spread. Contagious refers to disease spread from person to person by contact. Infectious refers to disease transmitted through environmental factors such as air, water and food. Hope this helps
