 A Practical Look at Contagious Mastitis
Contagious organisms are well adapted to survival and growth in the mammary gland and frequently cause infections lasting weeks, months or years.
The infected gland is the main source of these organisms in a dairy herd and transmission of contagious pathogens to uninfected quarters and cows occurs mainly during milking time.
Contagious organisms, for which the primary source is the mammary gland of the cow, are transferred primarily by events associated with milking.

Simply stated, the term contagious mastitis means that the infection can be transferred from an infected quarter to a non-infected quarter.
Once established, contagious bacteria may live in the udder for the entire life of the cow, unless there is effective intervention.
Because infections caused by contagious bacteria are usually of long duration, milk somatic cell counts in cows infected with these organisms are usually elevated for long periods of time.

Strict milking time hygiene is a high priority to reduce spread of contagious bacteria from one cow to another and to reduce bacterial contamination of the bulk tank milk (19).

 Contagious Diseases - Measles
Measles is one of the diseases which are called "neighborly diseases." For the reason that it appears in neighborhoods or in a single room in school.
Inasmuch as the most contagious time of the disease is in the early stage, when the patient is coughing and sneezing, and before the eruption or redness of the eyes have appeared, it is an extremely difficult disease to control.
This is not the case with scarlet fever, which has a long quarantine period, and in which the objects which the patient touches are contagious for a long period.

 New Scientist Breaking News - Yawning is catching in chimps
Catching a glimpse of a colleague yawning during an important meeting is enough to have most humans fighting to stifle a gape.

In research on people, those subjects that perform contagious yawning also recognise images of their own faces and are better at inferring what other people are thinking from their faces.

Contagious Bovine Pleuro-pneumonia (CBPP) is a contagious disease affecting the lungs and pleura of cattle and other closely related ruminants, and is caused by an infective organism - Mycoplasma mycoides.
Attempts made in this country to legislate for its prevention failed until 1869, when the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act was passed, and pleuropneumonia was included in the list of contagious diseases.
Further provisions were made in the Animals Order 1875, requiring the restriction of affected animals, compulsory slaughter of diseased animals for which the owner was compensated, and disinfection of infected premises.

 Neuroscience for Kids - Yawning
Evidence that yawning and stretching may be related comes from the observation that if you try to stifle or prevent a yawn by clenching your jaws shut, the yawn is somewhat "unsatisfying." For some reason, the stretching of jaw and face muscles is necessary for a good yawn.
It is possible that yawns are contagious because at one time in evolutionary history, the yawn served to coordinate the social behavior of a group of animals.
Yawns may still be contagious these days because of a leftover response (a "vestigial" response) that is not used anymore.
