An advantage of the herd-level analysis is that it focuses on theprobabilityofinfectionin a herd, which is economically important information.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In treatment arms, theprobabilityofinfectionis equal to the product of the parasitic prevalence and the efficacy of the medication administered.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For a more host-specific parasite group, coccidia, parasite abundance and individualprobabilityofinfectiondeclined in hosts living in bovid rich habitats.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The (unconditional) probability of illness can be calculated as the product of theprobabilityofinfectionand the conditional probability of illness given infection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, the estimation procedure implicitly assumes that theprobabilityofinfectiondoes not depend on the antibody level of a person before exposure.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Furthermore, it is possible to estimate theprobabilityofinfectionfrom one-to-one experiments without assuming an underlying model, so that the estimated parameter is robust.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, without further knowledge of the nature of the dependency of theprobabilityofinfectionon antibody levels, no value for l can be estimated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For each population, theprobabilityofinfectionwith single and multiple parasite species can be modelled using log-linear regression.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This allows us to estimate the relationship between inhaled dose and theprobabilityofinfectionand disease with an estimate of the uncertainty surrounding these values.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
Excluding the possibility that those with higher pre-exposure antibody levels have a higherprobabilityofinfection, the true infection rate will lie between the present and the previous calculations.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The dose-response relation from the volunteer study might be useful, but this relation gives theprobabilityofinfectionas a function of the dose, including asymptomatic cases.
From theCambridge English Corpus
At high concentrations, theprobabilityofinfectionis always near 1, and the shape of the outbreak dose-response relation is attributed completely to the illness dose- response relation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, the fitted dose-disease curve for cattle appeared to underestimate theprobabilityofinfectionfor low doses and was not, on visual inspection, a good description of the data.
From theCambridge English Corpus
At very low concentrations the unconditional probability of illness (the product of the infection and conditional illness dose-response models) cannot increase beyond theprobabilityofinfection.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The estimatedprobabilityofinfectionwas calculated taking the pool size as eight, since most of the batches of mosquitoes collected (30 out of 47) consisted of eight mosquitoes.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Knowledge of the priorprobabilityofinfectioncould greatly reduce the number of uninfected persons who would otherwise receive treatment.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From
Wikipedia
The first stage of the procedure is to calculate the joint probabilities of infection under the assumption that infections with different parasite species are independent.
From theCambridge English Corpus
An example is blood transfusion; in recent years, to reduce the risk of transmissible infection in the blood supply, donors with only a smallprobabilityofinfectionhave been excluded.
