transmissibility [tranz‚mis·ə′bil·əd·ē] (mechanics) A measure of the ability of a system either to amplify or to suppress an input vibration, equal to the ratio of the response amplitude of the system in steady-state forced vibration to the excitation amplitude; the ratio may be in forces, displacements, velocities, or accelerations.

Increased transmissibility could result from increased levels of shedding of GGII. In 1925, children without varicella history developed varicella after being inoculated with fluid recovered from the herpes zoster lesions (infectious virus), which demonstrated the transmissibility of the agent (Arvin 1996; Kundratitz 1925). If the transmissibility of the virus is sufficiently high, however, or if the preventive pharmaceuticals can't be deployed in time, a local outbreak could expand like a wildfire. |
