Airborne/droplet infection is caused by infected agents in the air around a person. Microbial pathogenic agents that are mainly transmitted airborne are aerosols, re-aerosols, microbe-carrying particles, huge amounts of bacteria-carrying airborne skin cells, dust, droplets and droplet nuclei. At the...
The implication of Hatch's work was considered of ‘aetiological significance in the cause of lung infection’ [7]. There is no mention in either paper of the size of the particles being relevant to disease transmission. Duguid showed that ‘… nuclei larger than 8 μ in diameter usually ...

Interestingly, a group of researchers led by Palesi [46, 47], have published several studies indicating that, using a small mammalian model, a viral infection was transmitted to animals in different cages connected only by a tube with no direct contact involved. Airborne droplets, emitted by ...
Limited previous studies have shown that ferrets infected with B/Victoria-like and B/Yamagata-like viruses display mild clinical signs of infection and have lower elevations in core body temperature than do animals infected with influenza A viruses27; however, ferret-to-ferret transmission of ...
Droplet transmission is the primary infection route for respiratory diseases likeCOVID‐19and influenza, but small and low‐cost wearable droplet detection devices are a significant challenge. Herein, a respiratory droplet micro‐sensor based on graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) assembled onto SiO2mi...
The droplets can also be inhaled by another person in close proximity (≈ 1 to 2 m), which provides a direct path for infection. And not least, some (particularly small) droplets can remain airborne for longer periods of time and travel considerable distances, providing yet another ...
Exposure impact was compared between the different infection routes. That of the droplet infection decreased beyond 90 cm, but that of airborne infection remained even with increasing distance. That of the contact infection remains comparably higher with time than other infection routes.Masayuki Ogata...
The simulation results reveal that both droplet dispersion patterns and infection risk are substantially influenced by the seating layout and direction of the wind. Notably, wind coming from an angle of 90(degrees) significantly reduces both localized droplet dispersion and overall infection risk ...
