How to use "Virulency" in context?
Virulency is the capability of an organism to cause serious epidemics through the spread of infectious diseases. The word virulency originates from the Latin word viri, meaning man, and Latin word lux, meaning light, so virulence literally means the light of man. It is a measure of the ability of an organism to cause serious epidemics. Many viruses are highly virulent, meaning they can cause widespread disease outbreaks.
The virulence of a virus depends on many factors, including the type of host the virus infects and the nature of the virus.
