The occurrence of hemoplasmas in free-ranging rodents in places where wild animals are kept in captivity, such as the Passeio Público and the Curitiba Zoo, might represent an important risk of transmission to workers and visitors as well as to animal species at the parks.
E-β-ocimene (boiling point 73°C), which belongs to the terpene family, is volatile so it has an aerial transmission (targeting all worker castes), while the BEP (boiling point around 200°C), which belongs to the ester family, has a low volatility which is transmitted by contact (target workers close to the larvae cells).
Also, although surveillance for healthcare worker transmission appeared thorough, other episodes of spread may have been missed.
This situation was well demonstrated in outbreak 1, which involved probable worker transmission of a strain from an immobile, chronically colonized person (resident A) to other residents in this institution.
