You can prevent it by doing proper quarantine. Many people quarantine their fish for 2+ months. During this period, many people also do prophylactic treatment. One of my favorite is hypo for 4+ weeks, prazi-pro for a couple weeks, and then a couple weeks of observation.
Fish can live for years. I don't know why we can't wait a couple months before we put them in DT.
