stealth transmission

COVID-19 GBK English to French Medical Medical (general)
Definition from NewsWeek:
Refers to the transmission and/or contagion of an illness by infected people who display minimal or no symptoms. These undetected cases can expose a far greater portion of the population to virus than would otherwise occur. for COVID-19, undetected infected individuals are numerous and contagious.
Example sentences:
Suspicion about the possibility of “stealth transmission” has been growing since mid-February, when Dr. Sandra Ciesek, director of the University of Frankfurt’s Institute for Medical Virology, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine that, in a lab, she had been able to infect human cells with coronavirus samples taken from two airline passengers returning to Germany from Wuhan, China. While both tested positive for the virus, one of the travelers had no symptoms and the other reported a mild sore throat and rash. (LA Times)
“Undetected cases can expose a far greater portion of the population to [the] virus than would otherwise occur. … These “stealth transmissions” will continue to present a major challenge to the containment of this outbreak going forward,” Shaman said. (Live Science)
The researchers said while these findings “indicate containment of this virus will be particularly challenging,” they did find that social distancing and quarantines slowed the spread of the virus. When they ran simulations occurring between Jan. 24 and Feb. 8, as diagnostic efforts increased, they found that stealth transmission dropped by a factor of five and transmission rates among documented patients dropped by at least 50%.

Transmission furtive

A ce jour, 16 mars 2020, l’épidémie COVID-19 explose hors de Chine avec 175.000 cas confirmés dont 81.000 cas en Chine -où la propagation a considérablement ralenti- et 6.700 décès, dont 3.600 hors de Chine. Cependant cette étude met plutôt l’accent sur les cas non confirmés ou non détectés qui, selon les chercheurs, pourraient bien être à l’origine d’une propagation furtive mais considérable du coronavirus.
Definition from Sante blog:
Cet article de recherche documente la « transmission furtive » comme principale cause de la propagation rapide de l’épidémie COVID-19 liée au nouveau coronavirus SARS-Cov-2. Les experts de l’École Mailman de santé publique de l&#039;Université Columbia suggèrent que les cas non détectés, peu symptomatiques ou asymptomatiques sont largement responsables de la propagation rapide de l&#039;épidémie de COVID-19 en Chine. Ces résultats basés sur un modèle informatique de l&#039;épidémie viennent d’être publiés dans la revue Science.
