The D614G mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein reduces S1 shedding and increases infectivity
bioRxiv, 2020 SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) isolates encoding a D614G mutation in the viral spike (S) protein predominate over time in locales where it is found, implying that this change enhances viral transmission.

To be or not to be co-infected [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Ticks can transmit a large spectrum of pathogens including bacteria, viruses and parasites with a significant number of these pathogens being agents of emerging infectious diseases. In Europe, the most prevalent tick-borne disease is Lyme Borreliosis, caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi s.l.

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2010 Musculoskeletal infection is a clinical problem with significant direct healthcare costs. The prevalence of infection after closed, elective surgery is frequently estimated to be less than 2%, but in severe injuries, posttraumatic infection rates have been reported as 10% or greater.

Infectivity of Norovirus GI and GII from Bottled Mineral Water during a Waterborne Outbreak, Spain
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 During a waterborne outbreak of norovirus in Spain, we estimated 50% illness doses for a group of exposed (secretor) persons to be 556 (95% CI 319–957) genome copies/day for norovirus GI and 2,934 (95% CI 1,683–5,044) genome copies/day for norovirus GII.

Predicting the size and probability of epidemics in a population with heterogeneous infectiousness and susceptibility [PDF]
, 2007 We analytically address disease outbreaks in large, random networks with heterogeneous infectivity and susceptibility. The transmissibility $T_{uv}$ (the probability that infection of $u$ causes infection of $v$) depends on the infectivity of $u$ and the

Environmental Stability and Infectivity of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in Different Human Body Fluids
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a hepatotropic, blood-borne virus, but in up to one-third of infections of the transmission route remained unidentified.
