It is transmitted through blood to blood contact. However, Sam Winchester is shown to be immune to its effect. Lucifer, Azazel, and Pestilence hoped to use this virus to wreak havoc on Earth during the Apocalypse, but it was averted by Sam, Bobby, Dean, and Castiel. Those with demon blood are immune.

Sulfur traces in a blood sample infected with Croatoan virus.
The Winchester brothers arrived at River Grove, Oregon, following a vision Sam had of Dean killing a man. As the entire town began to turn, Sam and Dean retreated to a local clinic where a doctor was studying the blood of an infected person and found traces of sulfur in the blood, which lead to the brothers concluding that a demon was at work.
The virus is spread by blood to blood contact and usually takes three to four hours for the symptoms and sulfur to manifest. However, Sam, who had blood contact with one of the infected people, showed none of the symptoms, even after five hours following his infection. When the doctor ran tests to check his blood, she found no traces of sulfur at all.
Near the end, it is revealed that the one responsible behind this virus is Duane Tanner, the man whom Sam saw Dean kill and who was in fact possessed. Communicating with the Yellow-Eyed Demon by the means of the Goblet of Blood, Duane informed the Yellow-Eyed Demon that "The Winchester boy is immune, as expected."
The End
In the alternate future, the virus had been released in 2014 by Lucifer and had infected many people around the world, during the Apocalypse. Those who were infected, called "croats", were shot on sight. A news report mentions the virus has just reached Australia at the time Dean appears. Following an outbreak in Houston, President Palin ordered its bombing. Future Dean also shot one of his men, who was infected, without warning.
The Devil You Know
