Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: But shouldn't this be 'excretors' in this case (related to f[a]eces)?

I thought of it but didn't find confirmation for excretors. On the other hand I came across secretors in this context.

[excreting] human/animal carriers
The Salmonella typhi bacterium is carried only by humans and no other animal carrier has been found. The Salmonella paratyphi bacterium is carried by humans and, rarely, domestic animals.

The primary source of leptospires is the surface of the renal tubes in the kidney of an excreting carrier animal. Carrier animals pass urine containing leptospires into the surrounding environment.

A large number of people who drink contaminated water can become carriers with little or no symptoms at all. People who are carriers can continue to excrete the bacteria for a period of up to a few weeks.

Not all individuals are symptomatic - that is, a number of carriers excrete cysts or oocysts for months or years without knowing they have a disease.

Humans are another significant carrier. Giardia is the most commonly reported intestinal parasite in the world.
The mobile form propels itself with eight whip-like tails or flagella. The parasite is tiny. More than 15,000 can fit on the head of a pin. There’s also an active amoeba-like form of giardia called a trophozoite. It will attach to the walls of the intestine and feed off the host.
Once it makes its way further down the digestive track, it encases itself in a cyst to ensure survival upon being passed from the body. During bad cases of infection, the human body might excrete hundreds of millions of cysts per day.

Noelle Crist-See
: I would have said "excrement from infected humans/animals". This is shorter.
