This paragraph (Bioterrorism threat) says "Community water supplies are easily susceptible to contamination due to the lack of filtration and treatment methods to get rid of the eggs.[10]" but in the source cited, it says "Contamination of community water sources would be difficult since the eggs of B. procyonis are relatively large (80 μm long by 65 μm wide) and would be readily removed by standard filtration methods". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A04:2413:8300:B500:2DCA:1CC9:959:2258 (talk) 15:37, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

my question of understanding transmission

[edit]

Towards the end of the paragraph Transmission: '… When an infected egg is ingested, …'

There is no explanation what an 'infected egg' is. Should it possibly be: 'infectious egg'?
