Rodents directly susceptible to infection. Increase infectivity, especially in urban regions and mutation

Breakdown in the epidermis causes large open wounds which significantly increase infectivity

Pathogen affects multiple organs and tissue types, causing body-wide infections that spread fast and can be fatal

Pathogen disrupts cell growth pathways, causing uncontrolled, eventually fatal tumour growth

Pathogen can survive outside the body in fresh, warm water. Increase infectivity, especially in humid environments and ship transmission

Pathogen able to survive in chemically treated water. Increase infectivity, especially in humid environments and ship transmission
