Transmissions
Compare
Air 1
Gives pathogen ability to travel on dust particles. Increase infectivity, especially in arid environments and plane transmission
Air 2
Gives organism ability to survive suspended in air for a long time. Increases infectivity, especially in arid environments and plane transmission
Bird 1
Birds become susceptible to infection. Avian carriers increase infectivity, land transmission and mutation
Bird 2
Avian brain tissue compromised causing birds to attack other species. Increases mutation, infectivity and land based transmission
Blood 1
Gives organism ability to spread through blood-to-blood contact. Increases infectivity, especially in poor regions and mutation chance
Blood 2
Infected bodily fluids able to pass through mucous membranes. Increases infectivity, especially in poor regions and mutation chance
Droplets 1
Pathogen suspended in expelled liquid particles from victim. Increase infectivity, especially on planes
Droplets 2
Pathogen able to survive for longer in expelled droplets. Increase infectivity, especially on planes
Extreme Bioaerosol
Pathogen bypasses air/water filters due to adaptive cellular shell. Increase infectivity, especially in humid & arid climates and plane/ship transmission.
Extreme Zoonosis
Infection crosses multiple species barriers. Increase infectivity, especially in rural and urban areas, mutation chance and cross-country transmission
Livestock 1
Livestock susceptible to infection. Increase infectivity, especially in rural regions and mutation
Livestock 2
Wildlife susceptible to infection. Increase infectivity, especially in rural regions and mutation
Swine 1
Pathogen uses pigs as prime host for antigenic shift - exchanging genes with multiple strains of influenza
Swine 2
Pigs more susceptible to infection by pathogen crossing species barrier. Increases infectivity, particularly in rural areas
Water 1
Pathogen can survive outside the body in fresh, warm water. Increase infectivity, especially in humid environments and ship transmission
Water 2
Pathogen able to survive in chemically treated water. Increase infectivity, especially in humid environments and ship transmission
