Thanks for the tip! I didn't know of that dictionary. In this case that's still ambiguous though as it doesn't indicate whether this discharged material is infectious or not, but perhaps then the word is simply ambiguous. (The sibling comment answered that, though: "It doesn't necessarily mean they are shedding active virions. Sometimes there are just leftover fragments")
