1. A method of treating a respiratory condition in a veterinary subject chosen from domesticated animals, livestock, zoo animals, and laboratory animals, said method comprising:
(a) generating a purified hydrogen peroxide gas (PHPG) that is substantially free of hydration and ozone; and
(b) exposing at least one veterinary subject to PHPG in an enclosed treatment environment for a treatment period, wherein the veterinary subject has a respiratory system including one or more lungs and the exposing includes exposing the lungs of the veterinary subject to PHPG at a steady-state concentration of up to 1 ppm,
wherein the enclosed treatment environment has a reduced level of at least one infectious agent after the generating of step (a) as compared to the enclosed treatment environment prior to the generating of step (a), wherein the infections agent comprises a virus, and
wherein the exposing of step (b) results in reduced transmission of a respiratory infection in the respiratory system of the veterinary subject.
