| infectivity |
is a measure of the ability of a disease agent to establish itself in the host. This term can be used qualitatively, when an agent is referred to as being of low, medium or high infectivity, or quantitatively. Attempts to quantify infectivity normally involve the use of a statistic known as ID 50 . This refers to the individual dose or numbers of the agent required to infect 50% of a specified population of susceptible animals under controlled environmental condition.
