The objective of this Personal View is to compare transmissibility, hospitalisation, and
mortality rates for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with …

Influenza incidence and seasonality, along with virus survival and transmission, appear to
depend at least partly on humidity, and recent studies have suggested that absolute …

Ambient temperature and humidity strongly affect inactivation rates of enveloped viruses, but
a mechanistic, quantitative theory of these effects has been elusive. We measure the stability …

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between weather factors (temperature,
humidity, solar radiation, wind speed, and rainfall) and COVID-19 infection in the State of …

The transmission of some infectious diseases requires that pathogens can survive (ie,
remain infectious) in the environment, outside the host. Relative humidity (RH) is known to …

COVID-19 is having a great impact on public health, mortality and economy worldwide, in
spite of the efforts to prevent its epidemy. The SARS-CoV-2 genome is different from that of …

The unprecedented global spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused
by SARS-CoV-2 is depicting the distressing pandemic consequence on human health …

Inanimate objects or surfaces contaminated with infectious agents, referred to as fomites,
play an important role in the spread of viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible …

The phase state of respiratory aerosols and droplets has been linked to the humidity-
dependent survival of pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2. To inform strategies to mitigate the …

Survival of respiratory viral pathogens in expelled saliva microdroplets is central to their
transmission, yet the factors that determine survival in such microdroplets are not well …
