Sentence examples for more transmissible and from inspiring English sources

For example, if TB is growing disproportionately compared to HIV (indicated by a high value of RTB/HIV), possible causes could include social conditions linked to poverty, malnutrition and high population density, which can boost TB transmission, or else the spread of more transmissible and virulent TB strains.

However, MRSA readily mixes and matches genes with other bacteria that make it more virulent, more transmissible, and harder to treat and this newly emerged strain could take that route too.

What's more, the AA protein in the feces was more transmissible and more effective in inducing the disease in mice than the protein isolated from the liver, possibly due to its smaller size and greater instability, the researchers report online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The report from the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) is meant to guide decisions about so-called gain-of-function (GOF) studies experiments that modify a pathogen in ways that could make it more transmissible and more pathogenic in humans.

This was calculated by comparing the more transmissible and less transmissible of each of the subtypes, taking the minimum SAR estimate for the more transmissible subtype and the maximum SAR estimate for the less transmissible subtype, and counting the number of estimates for both subtypes that fell within this range of overlap (normalized by the total number of estimates for both subtypes).

The impact of vaccination is globally diminished in the case of a more transmissible influenza virus and a longer mean infectious duration (R0, max = 2.2 and GI = 3.1) (Table 1 and Figure 6).

In a unique study on aerosol spread in guinea pigs, influenza has been shown to be more transmissible under cold and dry conditions.[10] Aerolsolization of virus particles in droplets or fomites following a vomiting event is an important feature of norovirus transmission [46], [47] and therefore may be sensitive to similar environmental drivers as influenza.

Influenza pH1N1 appears to have been far more transmissible in rural and isolated Canadian communities than other large urban areas.

So any experiment that makes H5N1 or H7N9 more transmissible between ferrets, and presumably humans, even at the loss of some pathogenicity, is making the world a more dangerous place than it presently is with sporadic outbreaks of H5N1 and H7N9 influenza.

► Last year, the U.S. government suspended funding of gain-of-function (GOF) studies, "in which viruses are made more transmissible or more pathogenic," and it ordered a review of their risks and benefits.

Dozens of studies have suggested that a mutation at a nearby position 627 can make H5N1 avian flu viruses more virulent and more transmissible between humans.
