the route of infection (that is, the presence of the serotype in relevant animal populations and feed);

3.

whether any serotype shows a rapid and recent ability to spread and to cause disease in humans and animals;

whether any serotypes show increased virulence, for instance as regards invasiveness, or resistance to relevant therapies for human infections.
