Non-respiratory Particles Emitted by Guinea Pigs in Airborne Disease Transmission Experiments
Abstract Animal models are often used to assess the airborne transmissibility of various pathogens, which are typically assumed to be carried by expiratory droplets emitted directly from the respiratory tract of the infected animal. We recently established that influenza virus is also transmissible via “aerosolized fomites,” micron-scale dust particulates released …
