Aerosol transmission has not been reported in the hospital environment.

So, yes, this may be a case of aerosol transmission.

In the laboratory and other experimental settings, aerosol transmission between animals can not be entirely excluded.

Research in guinea pigs has shown that the aerosol transmission of the virus is enhanced when the air is cold and dry.

No evidence of aerosol transmission of HIV is available(457).

Aerosol transmission?

We can compare the two groups and get an idea of how important aerosol transmission is," Prof Van-Tam says.

The closed living environment aboard a ship and the possibility of aerosol transmission can significantly increase the risk of viral gastroenteritis(22).

Aerosol transmission from Legionella infected reservoirs of water, such as heating and cooling systems are common sources of infection.

Aerosol transmission of HIV has been hypothesized, but up to date has not been documented.

Nasal and aerosol transmission of CWD has been demonstrated as a particularly effective direct transmission method.

The limited aerosol transmission observed in ferrets adds to concerns about the potential threat as avian flu viruses typically lack that ability, Kawaoka notes.

"It's after a chase, the animal is breathing fast and hard - it's the ideal situation for aerosol transmission," Dr. Raath said.

It is spread horizontally through sexual contact, artificial insemination, and aerosol transmission and it may also be transmitted vertically across the placenta.

These labs are equipped to deal with the most serious of agents and diseases that may be transmitted in the air, and or have the potential for aerosol transmission.

But you can get infected by flu both by aerosol transmission – by coughing and sneezing – or from surfaces that become contaminated," Professor Hay said.

The virus also survives longer on surfaces at colder temperatures and aerosol transmission of the virus is highest in cold environments (less than 5 C) with low relative humidity.

These agents have the potential for aerosol transmission, often have a low infectious dose, and produce very serious and often fatal disease; there is generally no treatment or vaccine available.

Demonstrated knowledge and understanding of methods of aerosol transmission of soilborne microorganisms, the importance of these aerosol routes and the potential impacts to key soil processes. l.

In any case, it quickly became clear the aerosol transmission of Spanish Flu worked even without smoke particles, by the simple act of breathing droplets of moisture from infected, coughing persons.

"Although no aerosol transmission was observed, the virus replicated in multiple respiratory tissues and induced clinical signs similar to those observed with the ... human H3N2 virus," the researchers wrote.

This was the Mayinga strain, as repeated microscopy had established, and that strain was suspected to be capable of aerosol transmission, and that was what they had to prove.

Lawrence M. Wein and Michael P. Atkinson of Stanford University constructed a mathematical model of aerosol transmission of the flu to explore infection control measures in the home.

The aerosol transmission of rabies in opossum was investigated following the death from rabies of two men who had visited the Frio Caves, Texas, and did not remember any direct contact with bats.

Their efficacy in preventing aerosol transmission depends on three factors: the extent to which the face filter prevents virus particles from passing through, how tightly the device fits and - most important - how long people can be coerced into wearing them.
