transmissibility

Examples

• All

• "Hot weather, we know, from experiments done in the laboratory, can increase the transmissibility of the virus through mosquitoes, and that could be one contributing factor," Lyle Petersen, director of the division of vector-borne infectious diseases at the CDC, said in a news briefing.

• Our data also indicate that certain genetic changes might affect disease severity or human-to-human transmissibility, suggesting an active period of adaptation that could result in virus strains with increased fitness in humans.
