Communicability of disease is assessed by?
Secondary attack is defined as the number of exposed persons developing the disease within the range of incubation period following exposure to primary case. It is useful in detecting whether a disease of unknown etiology is communicable or not and in evaluating the effectiveness of control measures such as isolation and immunization.
