Aerosol Transmission of Infectious Disease
Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 2015The concept of aerosol transmission is developed to resolve limitations in conventional definitions of airborne and droplet transmission.The method was literature review.An infectious aerosol is a collection of pathogen-laden particles in air. Aerosol particles may deposit onto or be inhaled by a susceptible person. Aerosol transmission is biologically

Infectious disease transmission and infection-dependent matching
Mathematical Biosciences, 1998This paper uses commonly available prevalence estimates to bound future incidence. The bounds rely on restricting the fraction of contacts between individuals of different infection statuses. It is argued that these bounds can be further tightened by restrictions of economic models of infectious disease that imply that uninfected individuals have ...

Infectious disease persistence when transmission varies seasonally
Mathematical Biosciences, 1997The generation reproduction number, R0, is the fundamental parameter of population biology. Communicable disease epidemiology has adopted R0 as the threshold parameter, called the basic case reproduction number (or ratio). In deterministic models, R0 must be greater than 1 for a pathogen to persist in its host population.

Prevention of Infectious Disease Transmission in Sports
Sports Medicine, 1997A variety of infectious diseases can be transmitted during competitive sports. Modes of transmission in athletic settings include person-to-person contact, common-source exposures and airborne/droplet spread. This paper reviews the most commonly reported infectious diseases among athletes and discusses the potential for transmission of bloodborne ...

Transmission of Infectious Diseases in Children
Pediatrics In Review, 1992A rational approach to the control of pediatric infectious diseases requires an appreciation of their epidemiology and mechanisms of transmission. The setting in which the exposure occurs may have a major influence on the risk of infection. Unfortunately, the epidemiology of many important pediatric pathogens is complex and incompletely understood ...

Early Childhood Caries (ECC): An infectious transmissible oral disease
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2008Dental caries in babies and toddlers is called Early Childhood Caries (ECC). It is an infectious and transmissible die-to-bacterial disease. Detailed knowledge regarding the acquisition and transmission of infectious agents facilitates a more comprehensive approach toward prevention.

Principles of infectious disease and transmission
2018Infectious diseases can be a major problem in the shelter environment. This chapter provides a very brief overview of the infectious agents that can cause disease, how the pathogens of importance are transmitted, and how they might be managed and treated.

Estimating the Transmission Rate for a Highly Infectious Disease
Biometrics, 1998It is pointed out that estimates of disease transmission parameters based on the final size of an epidemic are unsatisfactory when all susceptibles are infected and that this is an event with a substantial probability for communities of practical interest.

Respiratory infectious disease transmission of dental healthcare workers
Journal of Hazardous MaterialsRespiratory pathogens significantly impact public health, with transmission primarily occurring during close contact. Dental healthcare workers (HCWs) are particularly at high risk due to long-term mouth opening of patients, and frequent close proximity between HCWs and patients.
