Sentence examples for overall transmissibility from inspiring English sources

Our approach to modelling a generic influenza pandemic was to base epidemic characteristic on those of seasonal influenza strains (for which data is available), but to increase the overall transmissibility (by increasing the basic transmission probability) in order to represent higher infectivity of immunologically novel strains.

In the next section, branch and end-effector transmission indices are introduced, and the local transmission index is defined to evaluate the overall transmissibility of parallel manipulators.

The reproductive number for infected poultry farms, defined as the average number of farms that each original infected farm infects at the start of an outbreak (i.e., when most farms are susceptible), is an important measure of the overall transmissibility of the virus in a population.

Our model can be analyzed: First, comparing regression slopes between drug classes, as an indication of the overall transmissibility of DRMs of one drug class compared with others.

Epidemiologic studies of hospitalized patients suggest that the overall transmissibility of SARS (as indicated by the basic reproductive number R 0 = 2.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.2 3.7) (1 ) is relatively low compared to other pathogens.

The relative impact of targeting the very young and the very old for vaccination was weakened by their relative inactivity, thus giving evidence of the lack of impact of vaccinating these two groups on the overall transmissibility of the disease in the community.

With comparative analysis of Figures 7, 8, and 9, we can find that the overall transmission performance of the 5R mechanism is mainly determined by the branch transmissibility.

Overall, our transmissibility estimates for Chile are consistent with the range of global estimates reported for community-based settings at 1.2-2.4 1.2-2.4 5, 18, 43, 48, 56- 63], while higher estimates have been obtained in school settings [ 2, 44, 64, 65].

A better balance of NA and HA activities in ORVs compared with OSVs may have contributed to the overall fitness and transmissibility of ORVs.

With the creation of a standard scale that includes multiple epidemiologic measures, a variety of data may be incorporated to help synthesize these different measures into an overall indicator of transmissibility and clinical severity.

The dominance of HIV-1 subtype C in much of Africa and Asia has caused speculation that the overall pathogenicity or transmissibility of subtype C is greater than other subtypes [33].
