Correct, the transmission is from a burst abscess orginally, either onto another animal, sheep, horse (in their lungs usually) or goat. Remember an abscess can burst in the lung and be coughed onto other goats, it can burst in the udder and contaminate people who drink it and also kids. Really important to know what lived on the farm before you purchased it! Vicki
