Abstract
The integrated effects of production, dispersal, deposition, survival and infectiousness of inoculum are manifest in the disease severity it is able to cause under the specific conditions of environmental and host factors. Evaluation of these components and of their integrated effects is often so difficult that they constitute the “black boxes” in many epidemiological analyses. There are no research techniques that will eliminate completely these black boxes. However, there are some direct and indirect approaches that may improve quantitative assessment of the individual components and their integrated action.
