- (often followed by `of' or `to') yielding readily to or capable of; "susceptible to colds"; "susceptible of proof"
- easily impressed emotionally
- (susceptibleness) susceptibility: the state of being susceptible; easily affected
- In epidemiology a susceptible individual (sometimes known simply as a susceptible) is a member of a population who is at risk of becoming infected by a disease, or can not take a certain medicine, antibiotic, etc if he or she is exposed to the infectious agent.
- A person who is vulnerable to being infected by a certain disease; likely to be affected by something; easily influenced or tricked; credulous; especially sensitive, especially to a stimulus
- (Susceptibility) the inability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and development of a specified pest or pathogen.
- (SUSCEPTIBILITY) The degree to which an electronic equipment, subsystem, or system evidences undesirable responses when subjected to electromagnetic interference.
- (Susceptibility) The ratio of the intensity of magnetization to the magnetizing force, referenced to the value for a vacuum
- (Susceptibility) The degree to which one takes on suggestions or impressions.
- (Susceptibility) The inability of equipment/systems to perform without degradation in the presence of an electromagnetic disturbance. Susceptibility is often characterized as a lack of immunity. ...
- (Susceptibility) A relative measure of a device, or a system's propensity to be disrupted or damaged by EMI exposure to an incident field or signal. It's the lack of immunity.
- (Susceptibility) Increased likelihood of an adverse effect, often discussed in terms of relationship to a factor that can be used to describe a human subpopulation (e.g., life stage, demographic feature, or genetic characteristic).
- (Susceptibility) The sum of the qualities of a plant and causal agent that allows the development of the causal agent.
- (Susceptibility) Vulnerability or low threshold of response to drugs, electronics, an applied field, magnetics or to beliefs, manipulation, hypnosis, illness or stress.
- (susceptibility (to disease)) The property of an individual, an organ system, organ or tissue to be affected by disease; it is affected by environmental factors as well as genetic, developmental, and nutritional factors which lower one's resistance.
- (susceptibility) When individual or species will become ill or possibly die in the face of the stressful event or circumstances.
- (susceptibility) the potential for a public water supply system to draw water contaminated at concentrations that would pose concern, through geologic strata and overlying soil, direct discharge, overland flow, or cracks/fissures in the physical well or surface-water intake.
- Having little resistance to a specific infectious disease. Also used to describe an HIV strain that is not resistant to a particular anti-HIV drug.
- vulnerable to or potentially able to contract a disease. Also refers to a microorganism that is vulnerable to the effects of a drug. Contrast with resistant.
- A feature or features of a plant that allow it to serve as a host to a parasitic plant.
- Unprotected against disease.
- people that haven't had the disease so they can get it
- A person or animal not possessing sufficient resistance against a particular pathogenic agent to prevent contracting infection or disease when exposed to the agent.
- An individual accessible to or liable to infection by a pathogen
- This refers to any person who is not adequately immunized against or has no history of a particular disease and is, therefore, likely to contract the disease(s) in the event of exposure.
