Dogs and cats can get melioidosis so it might be that ferrets may be susceptible. See PubMed for those references: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez See here about the increase in ProMED (a different resource): http://www.promedmail.org/ by clicking open 12 Jun 2012 Melioidosis - Australia (03): (NT) in the menu on your left. There is also a snail borne disease that has increased, Angiostrongylus cantonensis.
