A pathogen's infectivity is subtly but importantly different from its transmissibility, which refers to a pathogen's capacity to pass from parent to child.
32.
Due to the transmissibility of " Babesia " through blood transfusions, IFA testing would be an effective means of screening for the disease in blood donations.
33.
Alternatively, efficient person-to-person spread could occur if the H5N1 virus evolves and adapts to more efficient replication and transmissibility in the human population ."
34.
The Navy made global measurements to determine light transmissibility for such things as knowing the potential for the visual detection of underwater objects and for such studies as laser depth readings.
35.
Determining these values could help determine transmissibility, as well as how large an area would need to be vaccinated if / when a vaccine is developed, to acquire herd immunity.
36.
The riches include readings on ice depth, ice shape, ocean depth, sediment composition, sea-surface height, salinity, seabed magnetics, water temperature, bioluminescence and light transmissibility.
37.
The relationship between " virulence versus transmissibility " is complex; if a disease is rapidly fatal, the host may die before the microbe can be passed along to another host.
38.
Because of this dependence on thickness, "'Transmissibility level "'( abbreviated DK / t ), the Dk per thickness of the lens, is more commonly used.
39.
She demonstrated the transmissibility of bovine spongiform encephalopathy ( BSE ) and scrapie to primates and argued that the evidence for BSE and scrapie being acquired by maternal transmission was also compatible with genetic susceptibility to disease.
40.
If so, the period of transmissibility is likely be short, " a few days to a couple of weeks at the most, " said Dr . Jesse Goodman, an FDA official said.
