Scope of 'transmission'
editThe article claims that transmission strictly refers to the transmission of microorganisms. But then the article points to cases involving the transmission of complex infectious organisms, such as the indirect transmission of helminths (as in the case of the infectious schistosomes responsible for schistosomiasis). The latter is correct, the former is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.5.52.96 (talk) 00:47, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
Infection Rate, Transmission Rate, Basic Reproductive Ratio
editIs it possible to include brief discussion of these related terms or to link to these wikipedia pages – infection rate, transmission rate, basic reproductive ratio? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:302:D154:79A0:F8BF:21DB:CDEC:AA55 (talk) 15:02, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
Tracking
editThe article provides a thorough explanation of modern-day tracking in regards to pathogen transmission, but doesn't provide a history or detailed look into the real-world practices, both in terms of recent history and in general. It might be a good idea to add a section covering how the COVID-19 virus was tracked as a pathogen, as it would provide the most accurate depiction of what pathogenic tracking has looked like in modern times. — ~~~~ Noahjdengler (talk) 01:31, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
