Livestock is a basic Transmission present in most Plagues. By making livestock animals a source of contagion, it increases Infectivity, specially in Rural Countries, and Mutation.

Government Actions

Standard Plagues

If the first stage of this Transmission is evolved, after the disease is noticed, governments may start to ban livestock movements, decreasing national Infection rates by 3. If this first action is taken, and the second stage is evolved, governments may start to cull all livestock, decreasing national Infection rates by 5, and the country's Public Order by 0.01.

Symptom Combos

Standard Plagues

Along with other traits, the second stage of this Transmission is required to obtain the Swine Flu Combo, unlocking the Oink oink Achievement.
