That's very clear and detailed. Thanks so much.

I wasn't thinking only of ventilation systems..but also of close proximity situations such as: if a diseased snake was in the rack right next to a healthy snake, and sneezed, by the above reasoning, the only way that the healthy snake would get sick is if proper quarantine procedures were not followed, because there is actually NO airborne disease as we understand it (in snakes because they don't have true coughs and sneezes)?

This also applies to IBD? This would mean (I mean this is staggering to me) that those who had lost collections possibly did so, not because IBD is so easy to "float" on the air, but because quarantine measures were not followed?

(this is not off topic, I am really trying to understand what happened to Jen. I think a lot of us want to know how a virus that's thought to be airborne (and can't be borne on the air), can wipe out collections.
