via the oral route

Explanation:
'Per os'(literally 'by mouth')is put in quotes here, I think, to show that the writer is transposing a term normally used in human nedicine to another field. Personally, I would translate this as 'infection via the oral route', but it's probably OK too to leave the Latin expression in quotes...
