2. Outline of infectious disease concepts - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_infectious...

   The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to concepts related to infectious diseases in humans.. Infection – transmission, entry/invasion after evading/overcoming defense, establishment, and replication of disease-causing microscopic organisms (pathogens) inside a host organism, and the reaction of host tissues to them and to the toxins they produce.

4. WAIFW matrix - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAIFW_matrix

   In infectious disease modelling, a who acquires infection from whom (WAIFW) matrix is a matrix that describes the rate of transmission of infection between different groups in a population, such as people of different ages. [1]

5. Infection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infection

   Chain of infection; the chain of events that lead to infection. There is a general chain of events that applies to infections, sometimes called the chain of infection [14] or transmission chain. The chain of events involves several steps – which include the infectious agent, reservoir, entering a susceptible host, exit and transmission to new ...

6. Latent period (epidemiology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_period_(epidemiology)

   For two successive generations (or cases or hosts) in a chain of infection, the serial interval is defined as the period of time between the onset of clinical symptoms in the first host (infector) and the onset of analogous clinical symptoms in the second host (infectee). Just like the generation time, the length of the serial interval depends ...

7. Infectious period - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectious_period

   Such an infection is called a subclinical infection. In epidemiology , particularly in the discussion of infectious disease dynamics (mathematical modeling of disease spread), the infectious period is the time interval during which a host (individual or patient) is infectious, i.e. capable of directly or indirectly transmitting pathogenic ...

8. Serial interval - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_interval

   The serial interval in the epidemiology of communicable (infectious) diseases is the time between successive cases in a chain of transmission. [1]The serial interval is generally estimated from the interval between clinical onsets (if observable), in which case it is the 'clinical onset serial interval'.

9. Viral life cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_life_cycle

   For the virus to reproduce and thereby establish infection, it must enter cells of the host organism and use those cells' materials. To enter the cells, proteins on the surface of the virus interact with proteins of the cell. Attachment, or adsorption, occurs between the viral particle and the host cell membrane.
