• Some diseases like highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAI) and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) are capable of spreading very rapidly from one animal to another through direct contact (touching) or by airborne spread of virus on nasal droplets from one group of animals to another nearby group. The most rapid spread of these diseases occurs in animals that are hosued in large numbers in sheds.
• Bacterial agents that can cause diarrhoea and other infections (salmonella, coliform bacteria) may be able to live for hours or days in water, wet soil or feed. Other animals can be exposed when they ingest contaminated water or feed. This sort of disease spread tends to be more likely when animals are housed close together in relatively larger numbers.
