There are at least 21 families of enveloped viruses that infect mammals, and many contain
members of high concern for global human health. All enveloped viruses have a dedicated …

The inactivation of viruses in aerosol particles (aerosols) and droplets depends on many
factors, but the precise mechanisms of inactivation are not known. The system involves …

We describe a novel biosafety aerosol chamber equipped with state-of-the-art
instrumentation for bubble-bursting aerosol generation, size distribution measurement, and …

Influenza A virus (IAV) spreads through exhaled aerosol particles and larger droplets.
Estimating the stability of IAV is challenging and depends on factors such as the respiratory …

The composition of respiratory fluids influences the stability of viruses in exhaled aerosol
particles and droplets, though the role of respiratory organics in modulating virus stability …

X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy have enabled the determination of
structures of numerous viruses at high resolution and have greatly advanced the field of …

Understanding the airborne survival of viruses is important for public health and
epidemiological modeling and potentially to develop mitigation strategies to minimize the …

The stability of influenza virus in respiratory particles varies with relative humidity (RH) and
protein content. This study investigated the decay, or loss of infectivity, of influenza A virus …

Two biological types of influenza virus are known and distinguished by the structure of the
surface glycoprotein, hemagglutinin (HA). The noninfectious virions contain the uncleaved …
