GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Medical - Medical (general) / Virology
French term or phrase: manu-portage
or "manuportage". Term used to describe the transmission method of e.g. an influenza virus. Occurs frequently at WHO.int, John Libbey, etc. websites but I can't find a page that will give me the English equivalent. I assume it refers to transmission through hand-to-hand/hand-to-mouth contact but is there an official term in English? Many thanks for any help.

  -> I believe "hands" my give the wrong focus. The important factor in virus transmission is contact, and it just happens to be hand contact in most cases, but not necessarily in all.

hand transmission


Explanation:
La prévention passe pour l'essentiel par le rappel permanent des règles d'hygiène de base : le manu portage reste le facteur de transmission principal des maladies bactériennes. Il convient donc d'abord de faire respecter le lavage des mains (qualitatif et quantitatif) avant de réfléchir à la mise en place de technologies plus sophistiquées de décontamination.
