The mechanistic factors hypothesized to be key drivers for the loss of infectivity of viruses in
the aerosol phase often remain speculative. Using a next-generation bioaerosol technology …

Understanding the factors that influence the airborne survival of viruses such as severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in aerosols is important for …

Aerosols represent a potential transmission route of COVID-19. This study examined effect
of simulated sunlight, relative humidity, and suspension matrix on stability of SARS-CoV-2 in …

SARS-CoV-2 transmits principally by air; contact and fomite transmission may also occur.
Variants of concern are more transmissible than ancestral SARS-CoV-2. We found …

ABSTRACT SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of the COVID-19 pandemic, may be
transmitted via airborne droplets or contact with surfaces onto which droplets have …

An improved understanding of the underlying physicochemical properties of respiratory
aerosol that influence viral infectivity may open new avenues to mitigate the transmission of …

Background Our laboratory previously examined the influence of environmental conditions
on the stability of an early isolate of SARS-CoV-2 (hCoV-19/USA/WA-1/2020) in aerosols …

Airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 aerosol remains contentious. Importantly, whether
cough or breath-generated bioaerosols can harbor viable and replicating virus remains …

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is known to be caused by severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)[1]. Current evidence indicates that …

In response to the COrona VIrus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, extensive research
has been conducted to explore, understand, and model the dynamics of expelled respiratory …
