This variability begs the question as to whether BRD is contagious, if it clusters due to risk factors, or if it occurs randomly. A small-scale study found that risk of disease is not increased by housing calves in a pen with sick cattle (79). This may be interpreted as BRD not being contagious in the classic sense.

Because RSV symptoms resemble those of the common cold (runny nose, sore throat, mild headache, cough, and sometimes a fever), parents and other adults may not realize they are infected with the virus but can still be contagious.

The disease is contagious through respiratory contact and body secretion, e.g. discharge in drinking areas. In its respiratory form, it is often known as 'snuffles', as the rabbits have a milky nasal discharge which hinders nose breathing.

Is Pneumonia Contagious in Dogs? As with canine influenza, you're not likely to contract pneumonia from your dog. However, bacterial and viral pneumonia can be transmitted easily between dogs, especially if they are very young, older, or have a compromised immune system.

Flu is a respiratory illness in various animals. Influenza viruses affect several different animals, such as; horses, cats, dogs, birds, swine, and people. It is contagious and spreads rapidly among susceptible animals. Many influenza A viruses infect poultry.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is contagious A person infected with one of these viruses is contagious, which means that they can pass the virus to other people. People with hand, foot, and mouth disease are usually most contagious during the first week that they are sick.

Is It Contagious? Because it is caused by infectious microbes, viral pneumonia is contagious. However, this lung infection is considered less contagious than the flu. Your risk rises if you smoke or have certain underlying medical conditions such as heart disease or diabetes.

Fourie stresses the importance of research into bovine TB because it "can be transmitted through the air from person to person (causing lung infection), and could cause point epidemics in high-risk populations such as in HIV-infected people." Bovine TB poses a further risk through transmission from livestock.

Mycoplasma bovis is a bacterium that causes illness in cattle, including udder infections (mastitis), abortion, pneumonia, and arthritis. It affects only cattle – dairy cows and beef cattle. It does not infect humans and presents no food safety risk.

Parvovirus B19—which causes fifth disease—spreads through respiratory secretions, such as saliva, sputum, or nasal mucus, when an infected person coughs or sneezes. You are most contagious when it seems like you have “just a fever and/or cold” and before you get the rash or joint pain and swelling.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is Contagious Some people, especially adults, may not develop any symptoms, but they can still spread the viruses to others. The viruses that cause HFMD can be found in an infected person's: Nose and throat secretions (such as saliva, sputum, or nasal mucus) Blister fluid.

Viral Infections Include colds, flu, croup, laryngitis, chest colds (bronchitis) and most sore throats. Are more contagious than bacterial infections. (If more than one person in the family has the same illness, odds are it is a viral infection.)

TB is contagious and can be spread to others by airborne droplets during sneezing, coughing, and contact with sputum, so you can get the disease by close contact with infected people; outbreaks occur in crowded conditions. The incubation period may vary from about two to 12 weeks.

These viruses are not contagious to other species, including dogs and people. Oftentimes, these viruses lead to bacterial sinus infections or conjunctivitis.

So what causes a cow to cough? Firstly anything that irritates the nasal passages, trachea (windpipe) and bronchi can cause coughing. This in adult cows often is termed as upper respiratory disease and is often associated with viral infections like IBR RSV Pi3 to name a few.

Not only is this illness highly contagious, but it can be transmitted across different species. Your cat and dog give this illness to one another as well as to you and the other humans in your household, although the chances of this happening are slim.

It usually causes 'kennel cough', an infection of the trachea and bronchi, but can spread deeper into the lungs, especially in young or old dogs, or dogs with a compromised immune system. Most other causes of bacterial pneumonia are not particularly contagious to other dogs.
