Plant Dissemination
Plant Dissemination is a unique ability exclusive to the Mad Cow Disease Scenario. By changing the Prion's protein folding, it allows it to infect plant life, unlocking new Transmissions that help infect vegetarians.
Unlocked Transmissions
Maize
This transmission is one of the few in this scenario that can increase infectivity in poor countries.
| Description |

| "Pathogen spreads through consumption of corn products. Increases infectivity, especially in poor countries" |

Government Actions
If the player evolves this transmission, governments may start burning corn fields, which will reduce Infectivity by 1 nationwide. For this action to be implemented in a country, the global priority must be 20 and the local priority 10.[1]
Broccoli
This transmission slightly increases Infectivity after broccoli consumption, and, unlike other traits, it has a low DNA Cost.

Government Actions
If the player evolves this transmission, governments may prohibit broccoli, which will reduce Infectivity by 2 nationwide. For this action to be implemented in a country, the global priority must be 20 and the local priority 30.[1]
Rice
This transmission helps to increase infectivity especially in countries characterized by hot climates, where rice is mainly consumed.

Government Actions
If the player evolves this transmission, governments may destroy rice supplies, which will reduce Infectivity by 3 nationwide. For this action to be implemented in a country, both the global and local priority for the disease must be 20.[1]
Avocado
This is one of the few transmissions in the Mad Cow Disease scenario that can help increase the effectiveness of the prion in wealthy countries.
| Description |

| "Pathogen spreads through consumption of avocado. Increases infectivity, especially in rich countries" |

Government Actions
If the player evolves this transmission, there is a possibility that governments will pulp avocados. For this government action to be implemented in a country, the global priority must be 20 and the local priority must be 10. When this action is implemented, infectivity will be reduced by 1 in the country.[1]
Potato
This transmission is characterized by increased infection in countries with cold climates where mainly potatoes are grown and consumed.

Government Actions
If the player evolves this transmission, there is a possibility that governments will start burying potatoes in the landfill. For this government action to be implemented in a country, both the global and local priority for the disease must be 20. When this action is implemented, infectivity will be reduced by 2 in the country.[1]
Mango
It is one of the transmissions that is characterized by increased infectivity especially in areas with hot climates after consumption of these fruits.

Government Actions
If the player evolves this transmission, there is a possibility that governments to order the destruction of mango supplies. For this government action to be implemented in a country, the global priority must be 20 and the local priority 30. When this action is implemented, the infectivity will be reduced by 3 in the country.[1]
Wheat
This transmission can increase the infectivity, unlike other similar ones, this one does not have a certain bonus for a certain type of environment.
| Description |

Government Actions
If the player evolves this transmission, there is a possibility that governments will start burning wheat fields. For this government action to be implemented in a country, the global priority must be 20 and the local priority 10. When this action is implemented, the infectivity will be reduced by 1 in the country.[1]
Government Actions
At the start of the game, vegetarians will be unaffected by the disease, in four stages, which reduce Infectivity in every country by 5, 10, 10, and 30, respectively. If this Transmission and Human Cross-infection are evolved, vegetarians may start to become infected, in four stages, which increase Infectivity by 5, 10, 10, and 30, respectively.[Note 1][1]
Notes
- ↑ This is considered a Government Action in the Game Files, however, it is not under the control of governments in-lore. The actions for vegetarians being unaffected and affected are called
vegetarians_unnaffectedandvegetarians_affected, respectively. Unlike other government actions, they trigger several types ranging from 1 to 4 in the game files.
