Meanings of more transmissible in English

It will also rise during the coming winter when coronaviruses are more transmissible.

Outside a Petri dish, there is some indirect evidence this mutation makes coronavirus more transmissible in humans.

Sharing samples is deemed vital to see if viruses have mutated, become drug resistant or grown more transmissible.

In general, being more transmissible doesn't mean a virus is more lethal - in fact the opposite is often true.

The results, he believes, prove the mutated virus is more transmissible than the original version, at least in the lab.

A new study has suggested the coronavirus may have ceased to mutate, meaning it has adapted to humans and is more transmissible.

Beijing health officials have warned that while 2019-nCoVvirus is not as deadly as SARS, it is mutating more quickly, making it more transmissible.

Fouchier was unable to confirm the specific mutations that made the virus more transmissible, but said many had already been spotted in the wild.

Sharing H5N1 samples allows scientists to check if the virus has mutated, become drug resistant or grown more transmissible.

In other words, although the genetic mutations made H5N1 more transmissible among mammals, they apparently also made it less deadly.

Sharing samples with the WHO's network of collaborative laboratories is deemed vital to see if viruses have mutated, become drug resistant or grown more transmissible.

When, however, we turn to "zeal" or "energy" or "go," we do seem to be dealing with a simpler and more transmissible thing.

Peiris said that while the H9N2 strain might be more transmissible, its effects would be far less devastating than a possible H5N1 pandemic.

That study, led by virologist Ron Fouchier of Erasmus University in the Netherlands, also showed how H5N1 could become more transmissible in mammals.

Despite a seemingly simple genome containing just a handful of genes, scientists don't know what mutations could make H5N1 more transmissible between humans.

Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 is more transmissible in households than SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, and the elderly ≥60 years old are the most vulnerable to household transmission.
