    Snippet: We found several papers reporting brief exposure to livestock animals that resulted in zoonotic disease transmission to people who were not occupationally exposed to livestock. Remarkably, brief contact in these studies was sufficient to transfer micro-organisms to susceptible persons, still the nature of these contacts remain elusive [27, 28, 66, [90] [91] [92] [93] .

    Document: We found several papers reporting brief exposure to livestock animals that resulted in zoonotic disease transmission to people who were not occupationally exposed to livestock. Remarkably, brief contact in these studies was sufficient to transfer micro-organisms to susceptible persons, still the nature of these contacts remain elusive [27, 28, 66, [90] [91] [92] [93] . Perhaps the contact moment was not even necessary for disease transmission, but the environmental presence of high levels of micro-organisms surrounding infected animals, shown in other studies [112] [113] [114] [115] [116] [117] [118] [119] , was sufficient for a transmission event.
