Model Analysis of Fomite Mediated Influenza Transmission
Fomites involved in influenza transmission are either hand- or droplet-contaminated. We evaluated the interactions of fomite characteristics and human behaviors affecting these routes using an Environmental Infection Transmission System (EITS) model by comparing the basic reproduction numbers (R(0)) for different fomite mediated transmission pathways. Fomites classified as large versus small su...
متن کاملAirborne or Fomite Transmission for Norovirus? A Case Study Revisited
Norovirus infection, a highly prevalent condition associated with a high rate of morbidity, comprises a significant health issue. Although norovirus transmission mainly occurs via the fecal-oral and vomit-oral routes, airborne transmission has been proposed in recent decades. This paper re-examines a previously described norovirus outbreak in a hotel restaurant wherein airborne transmission was...
متن کاملNovel Antimicrobial Surface Coatings And The Potential For Reduced Fomite Transmission Of SARS And Other Pathogens
Surface bio-contamination is a problem that contributes to outbreaks of community-acquired and nosocomial infection through episodic fomite transmission of disease and through persistent fomitic reservoirs. The extent to which fomitic reservoirs contribute to the overall extent of nosocomial infection is unknown, but fomites are known to play some role in the transmission of many diseases, incl...
متن کاملTime Domain Analysis of Graphene Nanoribbon Interconnects Based on Transmission Line Model
Time domain analysis of multilayer graphene nanoribbon (MLGNR) interconnects, based on transmission line modeling (TLM) using a six-order linear parametric expression, has been presented for the first time. We have studied the effects of interconnect geometry along with its contact resistance on its step response and Nyquist stability. It is shown that by increasing interconnects dimensions...
