"Even one dose of the vaccine not only gives you personal protection but it also reduces your chances of passing the disease onto others."
"The overall pattern we see is negative; as you increase diversity, you see less hantavirus."
"Viruses typically mutate for two reasons: one to transmit better and two to be less deadly."
"The concern is if it's more easily transmitted between mammal hosts could it be could it jump into humans and could there be mutations that facilitate transmission."
"They were saying things like clustered cases means that human-to-human transmission is possible."
"You could never know you had it and still have passed it on to people, which is definitely frightening."
"For every one person who gets the seasonal flu, they will pass it on to on average 1.3 people."
"Everybody's compliance with them is reducing transmission."
"Omicron is incredibly contagious. It's spreading like wildfire everywhere."
"It's much worse if you can spread the disease before you even know that you have it."
"International travel: someone can get sick in Africa and be back in the United States or in Europe in less than a day."
"Spread is guaranteed if there is one person who is infected in these parties, they will be infecting other people."
"Why do we need everyone to do it? It's because it's different. It's not something like Ebola which is very very deadly but it does not transmit as readily as something like influenza or COVID-19."
"The virus has mutated to become more transmissible."
"Swamps were seen as barriers to settlement and breeding places for mosquitoes and the diseases they carry."
"This is the enzyme of the virus, we know that when the virus would arrive in our cells."
"Asymptomatic spreading is something that's really not good and makes this very hard to detect."
"Nearly every single major infectious zoonotic disease outbreak in the past 120 years is inextricably linked to our exploitation of animals."
"The more time you spend with someone, the more likely you are to get infected."
"Some people are super spreaders, responsible for 80% of the transmission."
"Migrations can facilitate the spread of certain diseases endemic to specific latitudes."
"Coronavirus being much more contagious than previously feared."
"That's the only thing that has to happen, we get a disease the [ __ ] mosquitoes bite us or cause complications of [ __ ] sun like God."
"For 500 years the American Indians have been blamed for giving Europe syphilis."
"My big concern is what are the next new variants gonna be coming in across the border in such large volume."
"The vaccine is going a huge way towards reducing transmission and enabling much less rigorous control measures."
"The real danger is from increasing infectivity in humans or in human tissue."
"Now that distinction belongs to the mosquito."
"It's important to let the most at-risk people know how it's transmitted."
"Kids are not immune from this disease. They can catch it, which means they can give it to other people."
"Syphilis would go on to infect a veritable who's who of Europe: from Baudelaire to Gauguin to Nietzsche."
"Bubonic plague caused millions of people to die in Europe in the 1400s, going from rats to fleas to humans to hemorrhages to suffocation."
"More evidence for human to human transmission."
"This is massive, at least twice as transmissible as the old, the original variant."
"And the question is, when SARS jumped into, so SARS-2 jumped into humans, it's causing a lot of mortality. And the question is, when it's infecting bats, does it have the same negative impact on bats?"
"It's difficult for you to get our diseases or for us to contract yours."
"This is how many viruses can spread from the respiratory tract to other tissues."
"Vehicle transmission is when you spread a disease through a media such as water, food, air, or blood."
"It's like a brothel; it's real easy to exchange diseases right when one colony has it, they all have it because there's a heck of a lot of mixing going on."
"Communicable diseases are diseases that can be passed from one person to another."
"The knowledge that it was spread by germs made it clear: coughing and spitting spread TB through droplet infection."
"We need to look at the social determinants of health: nutrition, vaccination, housing, and overcrowding, which is a key factor in transmission of skin sores and scabies."
"A communicable disease is an illness that can be spread from one infected being to another."
"Communicable disease is a disease that is spread from one person to another."
"A communicable disease is a disease that can be spread from one person to another."
