Dependence of aerosol-borne influenza A virus infectivity on relative humidity and aerosol composition

Ghislain Motos, Aline Schaub, Shannon C. David, Laura J. Costa, Céline Terrettaz, Christos Kaltsonoudis, Irina Glas, Liviana K. Klein, Nir Bluvshtein, Beiping Luo, Kalliopi Violaki, Marie O. Pohl, Walter Hugentobler, Ulrich K. Krieger, Spyros Ν. Pandis, , Athanasios Nenes

This study investigates how relative humidity and aerosol composition affect influenza A virus infectivity in aerosol particles, finding that low humidity and efflorescence preserve infectivity longer than intermediate humidity conditions.

Impact of Organic Compounds on the Stability of Influenza A Virus in deposited 1-ul droplets

Aline Schaub, Shannon C. David, Irina Glas, Liviana K. Klein, Kalliopi Violaki, Céline Terrettaz, Ghislain Motos, Nir Bluvshtein, Beiping Luo, Marie O. Pohl, Walter Hugentobler, Athanasios Nenes, Ulrich K. Krieger, Thomas Peter, Silke Stertz, Tamar Kohn

This study examines how organic compounds affect the stability of influenza A virus in droplets, finding that proteins enhance virus stability by altering drying dynamics and efflorescence RH.

Stability of influenza A virus in droplets and aerosols is heightened by the presence of commensal respiratory bacteria.

Shannon C. David, Aline Schaub, Céline Terrettaz, Ghislain Motos, Laura J. Costa, Daniel S. Nolan, Marta Augugliaro, Htet Kyi Wynn, Irina Glas, Marie O. Pohl, Liviana K. Klein, Beiping Luo, Nir Bluvshtein, Kalliopi Violaki, Walter Hugentobler, , Tamar Kohn

This study shows that respiratory commensal bacteria enhance the stability of influenza A virus in droplets and aerosols, suggesting the microbiota may influence viral transmission risks.
