Complicated[edit]

Transmission is complicated because it does not necessarily imply transmission of something pathogenic. I changed the English description from "type of pathogen transmission process" to "type of infectious agent transmission process", which might be clunky, but is more accurate. The problem is that you may have transmission of strictly non-pathogens (or rarely pathogenic agents), such as human endogenous retroviruses. CFCF (talk) 08:59, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
