... the primary requirement is for sufficient sheltered accommodation provided with water supply, sanitation, cooking and heating facilities, and refuse removal services ... the average space available per person is a problem in only a few countries of Europe, such as Romania and the Russian Federation.

En general las condiciones de la vivienda de los inmigrantes económicos son deficientes, tanto en salubridad como, a veces, en suministro de agua y electricidad y en situaciones de hacinamiento. Es frecuente que convivan en la misma vivienda personas de diferentes familias, con falta de espacio y de privacidad. Todo esto favorece la transmisión de algunas enfermedades infecciosas(tuberculosis, diarreas, sarna, etc.) así como la aparición de problemas por la falta de espacio e intimidad(estrés, problemas psicológicos, accidentes domésticos, conflictos personales y de grupo, etc.). 1, record 1, Spanish, - hacinamiento

It will be apparent to the older generation that the thrust in recent years to get away from the non-specific diagnosis of "shipping fever" and to aim for specific diagnosis of pneumonic pasteurellosis, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and so on, has now come full circle and where they used to say "shipping fever" we now say "bovine respiratory disease" (BRD). 2, record 4, English, - bovine%20respiratory%20disease

Maladie respiratoire fébrile aiguë de bovins qui viennent de faire l'objet d'un transport depuis la ferme où ils sont nés, jusqu'à l'atelier d'engraissement. La maladie sévit surtout chez les jeunes, mais on la rencontre sur des animaux plus âgés. Elle est due à un ensemble de causes parmi lesquelles on distingue : l'influence de l'agression provenant du transport lui-même (sevrage, refroidissement, manque de nourriture et d'eau, changement d'environnement et de congénères), l'action d'agents pathogènes (virus divers dont celui de la rhinotrachéite infectieuse bovine, virus para-influenzae III, Adénovirus, Réovirus, mycoplasmes, bactéries dont Pasteurella multocida, etc.). 4, record 4, French, - grippe%20bovine
