ImpactHigh impact

The discussions highlight the importance of understanding airborne transmission, especially in the context of disease control and public health measures.

Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated how human noroviruses (which cause stomach illnesses) can become airborne during vomiting by using a scaled-down, simulated vomit device filled with a virus surrogate, bacteriophage MS2.
  • The researchers found that virus aerosols are indeed produced during simulated vomiting, especially at higher pressures and lower viscosity, with aerosolized virus amounts varying widely from a few to over ten thousand viral particles as a percentage of the total vomited virus.
  • These findings are significant because they provide the first laboratory evidence that noroviruses can aerosolize during vomiting, helping us better understand how they spread and guiding improved infection control strategies.]

@telecincoes El aire transporta partículas de polen, arena, semillas, insectos, agua, ..., ¿y aún alguien duda que pueda transportar un virus de 0,3 micras? Menos ver Sálvame y más documentales de la 2. https://t.co/saaWGRMMYG

@SkyNews Within a metre??? Where is the proof? Droplets can travel many meters through the air, and air distributing systems. Some research about this: https://t.co/xJa93zgLz4 https://t.co/saaWGRMMYG
