Human-to-human transmission
Spread of an infection from one person to another / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human-to-human transmission (HHT) is an epidemiologic vector,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] especially in case the disease is borne by individuals known as superspreaders. In these cases, the basic reproduction number of the virus, which is the average number of additional people that a single case will infect without any preventative measures, can be as high as 203.9.[9][10] Interhuman transmission is a synonym for HHT.[11]
The World Health Organization designation of a pandemic hinges on the demonstrable fact that there is sustained HHT in two regions of the world.[12]
