If this is typical behavior, another route of infection is easy to imagine. The fresh feces falls and splatters soiling the leaves. Or, when it rains, the bolus liquifies and splashes below.

In Natural History of Infectious Disease Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet outlines the principle that pathogen and host tend to equilibrium / accommodation. The exception that he lists is where there is more than one host. The pathogen then will tend to increase in virulence in one.

Is it okay to kiss your pet? What diseases can pets carry?
"Dogs and cats are major reservoirs of zoonotic infections ..."
"Kissing pets has also been linked to occasional zoonotic infections in pet owners."
"Pet ownership is at an all-time high, with a recent survey finding 69% of Australian households have at least one pet."
Australians spend an estimated A$33 billion every year on their pets.
Bellingen residents choose to own an abundance of dogs and cats in the middle of a native wildlife hotspot. Pedestrians and staff of eateries regularly fumble on dog snouts. Dogs inside eateries often slobber over tables, but no one cares...

Perhaps Western funding for basic healthcare of people in rural areas would have this as an added benefit. My memory is that Eco Health Alliance had a paper a year or so before the Pandemic showing exposure to bat coronaviruses in some remote area.
