They were all transported via the ark's toilet seat. At least that was Ham's story.
What is more scary to an active JW than getting infected with a STD or other disease? It is finding out that microbes are the oldest living organsims on the planet and that all higher life evolved from them and most microbes evolve into other diseases. AIDs type diseases for instance has been around for millions of years in other host species and have jumped from one species to another. In reality, you are able to ask questions like this today because your distant ancestors got infected with retroviruses and got some useful DNA at times in the deal, which allowed your precusors to survive just a little better. Not a bad trade off for propagating a viral host in your DNA for a ride. With molecular genetics, we can trace the history of many of these diseases through time and species with some degree of accuracy. Far more than reliable than stories from ancient men who would flunk any SAT test given today. Just my two cents worth.
