Nosocomial infections have been shown to be directly and indirectly responsible for an alarming number of patient deaths annually, which are estimated Fomites and Infection Transmission • OFID • 1 to be more than 19 000 and 80 000, respectively [17, 18]. Further- mo...
Influenza virus transport on dust has been infrequently hypothesized4,17,29and experimentally explored30in the past, and other respiratory pathogens are known or suspected to initiate human infection in this manner31,32. However, current opinion about influenza virus transmission, both in humans7,8,...
Stefan Alenius2, Britt Gjerset3, Mette Myrmel4 and Maria Stokstad1 Abstract Background: In order to prevent spread of the endemic pathogens bovine coronavirus (BCoV) and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) between herds, knowledge of indirect transmission by personnel and fomites is fundament...

The aims of the study were to determine the duration of viral RNA carriage and the infectivity of viral particles on fomites and human nasal mucosa after exposure to BCoV and BRSV. During two animal infection experiments, swabs were collected from personnel (nasal mucosa) and their clothes, ...
