Susceptibility: An animal must be susceptible to the infection in order to develop the disease. Animals that are not susceptible may be exposed to causes of disease including an infectious agent and they will not develop disease.
- Only the horse family (Equidae) are susceptible to equine infectious anaemia
- Younger cattle are more susceptible to pinkeye because they have a lower immunity to Moraxella bovis compared to older cattle who have been exposed previously.
