What's the difference between fomes and infectious?
Fomes
Definition:
(n.) Any substance supposed to be capable of absorbing, retaining, and transporting contagious or infectious germs; as, woolen clothes are said to be active fomites.
Example Sentences:

(9) Lopes also attributes the continuing fall to recent government projects such as Fome Zero, or Zero Hunger, and Bolsa Familia, an income transfer project which conditions cash transfers to low-income families on the vaccination of children and their presence at school.
(10) Contact angles of pharmaceutical powders were determined by the h-epsilon method, which consists essentially of measuring the maximum height of a drop of liquid fomed on a presaturated compact of the material.
(11) The highest enzyme activity was detected in Oudemansiella mucida, Coriolopsis occidentalis, Fomes fomentarius, Trametes versicolor and a not-yet-classified species of the genus Trametes.
(12) Fomes annosus), one of the most pathogenic basidiomycetes in conifer forests, produces a series of new metabolites specifically in the presence of antagonistic fungi or some plant cells.
(13) Culture filtrates of four basidiomycete fungi, Stereum strigoso-zonatum, Fomes australis, Trametes lilacinogilva and Polyporus tumulosus were fractionated and examined for polysaccharide content.
Infectious
Definition:
(a.) Having qualities that may infect; communicable or caused by infection; pestilential; epidemic; as, an infectious fever; infectious clothing; infectious air; infectious vices.
(a.) Corrupting, or tending to corrupt or contaminate; vitiating; demoralizing.
(a.) Contaminating with illegality; exposing to seizure and forfeiture.
(a.) Capable of being easily diffused or spread; sympathetic; readily communicated; as, infectious mirth.
Example Sentences:
(1) The extent of the infectious process was limited, however, because the life span of the cultures was not significantly shortened, the yields of infectious virus per immunofluorescent cell were at all times low, and most infected cells contained only a few well-delineated small masses of antigen, suggestive of an abortive infection.
(2) Although antihistamines are widely used for symptomatic treatment of seasonal (allergic) rhinitis, the role of histamines in the pathogenesis of infectious rhinitis is not clear.
(3) Tumour necrosis factor (TNF), a polypeptide produced by mononuclear phagocytes, has been implicated as an important mediator of inflammatory processes and of clinical manifestations in acute infectious diseases.
(4) We present a mathematical model that is suitable to reconcile this apparent contradiction in the interpretation of the epidemiological data: the observed parallel time series for the spread of AIDS in groups with different risk of infection can be realized by computer simulation, if one assumes that the outbreak of full-blown AIDS only occurs if HIV and a certain infectious coagent (cofactor) CO are present.
(5) Solely infectious waste become removed hospital-intern and -extern on conditions of hygienic prevention, namely through secure packing during the transport, combustion or desinfection.

(7) It is clear that before general release of a new living feline infectious enteritis vaccine, there must be satisfactory evidence that concurrent infection will not affect the safety of the modified antigen.In cats infected with feline infectious enteritis there appears to be a short period, coinciding with the onset of leucopaenia, during which they are highly infectious.
(8) Infectious virus was recovered 3 years after infection from selected tissues of 12 of 17 CAEV(63)-infected goats and 11 of 18 CAEV(Co)-infected goats.
(9) These included: 1) association of infectious processes with other laboratory results; 2) a feeling of integration with the patient and health care team; and 3) the introduction of medical terminology.
(10) The diagnosis of acute infectious enterocolitis was rejected.
(11) However, blood with low HBeAg levels and free of detectable polymerase activity can still be infectious, since the polymerase reaction is rather insensitive compared to the radioimmunological HBeAg determination.
(12) It is anomalous that the world is equipped with global funds to finance action on infectious diseases and climate change, but not humanitarian crises.
(13) Rapid, on-site detection of chlamydial antigen in male FVU would shorten the infectious period by hastening diagnosis and treatment.
