What's the difference between infectiosity and infectiousness?

Infectiosity


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) These findings raise the question, if a positive anti-HCV test correlates with infectiosity.
  • (2) HBsAg as a marker that expresses infectiosity was present in 15 cases (1.5%) of 1000 unselected cases, 4.4% of the drug related deaths and 15.8% of the HIV-infected group.
  • (3) The purified virus has a specific infectiosity of 10(9) LD50 and a speicific activity of 250 units "relative activity" per 1 mg protein.
  • (4) Like all other epidemics, they were thought to be attributed to a miasma transported by the air and resulting from bad vapours, and it was for two milleniums that this remained the explanation for infectiosity.
  • (5) infection rates, infectiosity and migration of promastigotes in sandflies.
  • (6) It is concluded that anti-HBc is not a criterion of infectiosity but a specific, although non-characteristic, marker for HBAg seropositive acute and chronic hepatitis as well as for terminated HBV infection of all possible inflammatory and HBAg expression types.

Infectiousness


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality of being infectious.

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.
  • (6) Although they were praised in the last five years as the most efficient drugs against cancer and infectious diseases, no great success was clinically and experimentally reported in the past.
  • (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.
  • (14) The use of multifactorial experiment design, a model of infectious processes and immunomodulators alone or in combination with antibiotics is implied.
  • (15) The authors report the clinical case of an 18-year-old patient who presented with a symptomatic mass in the left upper quadrant 6 months after having infectious mononucleosis.
  • (16) A retrospective study of autopsy-verified fatal pulmonary embolism at a department of infectious diseases was carried out, covering a four-year period (1980-83).
  • (17) The p30 proteins of murine viruses also contain a second discrete set of antigenic determinants related to those in infectious primate viruses and endogenous porcine viruses, but not detected in the feline leukemia virus group.
  • (18) The organisms are transmitted transovarially, diaplacentally, via endometrium, before or after implantation, via amnion or by the semen when ascending through the infectious environment.
  • (19) The first is that the supposed exaggerated winter birthrate among process schizophrenics actually represents a reduction in spring-fall births caused by prenatal exposure to infectious diseases during the preceding winter--i.e., a high prenatal death rate in process preschizophrenic fetuses.
  • (20) The central nervous system of the animals sacrificed in the time course of the infectious process was studied by light and luminescent microscopy.
