Presence and Stability of SARS-CoV-2 on Indoor Surfaces and Masks
… via contaminated surfaces, also known as fomites, remains controversial. The overarching goal of this study was to investigate the presence and stability of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, on indoor surfaces and masks, and to provide insight into the possibility of fomite …

Application of Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment to Domestic Hygiene
… is shed. Further investigation through a fomite-mediated transfer multiple-scenario QMRA of SARS-CoV-2, adenovirus, and norovirus infection risk of high-touch surfaces using a Monte-Carlo simulation (10,000 events) revealed a possible domestic hygiene intervention of a post-restroom …

Development and Implementation of a Cervical Patch Sampling Approach for Cervical Screening and the Study of HPV Transmission
… in vivo model also allowed to assess the role of fomites in the transmission of PV. Here we found that fomite transmission is indeed a real possibility and PV demonstrated a significant resistance to desiccation in our model systems. Past work has suggested a possible role for the viral protein E4 …

Understanding COVID-Induced Public Health Practices and Protocols and Workplace Challenges: The Experiences of Child Care Professionals in Canada
… challenges and risks to CCP’s health and safety. Fomite-based PHPPs, including surface cleaning (99.7%), handwashing with soap (97.4%), and using sanitizer (96.0%), were more commonly reported than airborne-based PHPPs such as masking (93.0%), opening windows (55.9%), using an HVAC system (19.8%). …

Detection and description of influenza a virus transmission in commercial weaned pigs in Illinois, USA
… to determine areas of potential SARS-CoV-2 fomite transmission and air samples in common areas. No samples were positive during phase one of the trial (Summer 2020), which corresponded to low cases in the surrounding communities. However, after the Thanksgiving holiday, all plants had …

Effects of ambient temperature on mechanisms of pathogen transmission in house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus)
Ambient temperature is an important abiotic factor shaping the process of pathogen transmission because of its effects on hosts, pathogens, and interactions between them. However, most experimental studies demonstrating the effects of temperature on transmission remain correlative and often exclude …
