1. Viral load

   Viral load, also known as viral burden or viral titer, is a measure of the severity of a viral infection, and can be calculated by estimating the amount of virus in an involved body fluid. For example, it can be given in RNA copies per milliliter of blood plasma. Tracking viral load is used to monitor therapy during chronic viral infections, and in immunocompromised patients such as those recovering from bone marrow or solid organ transplantation. Currently, routine testing is available for HIV-1, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus.

Examples of Viral Load in a Sentence

   The unfortunate thing for transmitting disease is that right when the infection takes off, just before a person becomes symptomatic, they probably have the highest level [ of virus ], so, the day they start having symptoms, and the day before and maybe the day before that is when they have the highest viral load.

2. Barney Graham:

   Right now there are data that suggest that vaccinated and unvaccinated [ people ] have the same level at a particular time point, but if you follow that over time, the vaccinated people's viral load drops much faster. ... There's still a lot less virus in vaccinated people than there is( in) unvaccinated people. So there would be less transmission going on in vaccinated people, but there may be some transmission... It's just a matter of degrees ; it's a little nuanced.

3. Anya Nopalit:

5. Alberto Zangrillo:
