Difference between Infectivity and Transmission (medicine)

Infectivity vs. Transmission (medicine)

In epidemiology, infectivity is the ability of a pathogen to establish an infection. In medicine, public health, and biology, transmission is the passing of a pathogen causing communicable disease from an infected host individual or group to a particular individual or group, regardless of whether the other individual was previously infected.

Similarities between Infectivity and Transmission (medicine)

Infectivity and Transmission (medicine) have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Epidemiology, Host (biology), Pathogen, Transmission (medicine), Virulence.

Epidemiology

Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the distribution (who, when, and where) and determinants of health and disease conditions in defined populations.

Host (biology)

In biology and medicine, a host is an organism that harbours a parasitic, a mutualistic, or a commensalist guest (symbiont), the guest typically being provided with nourishment and shelter.
