The paper compares nasal and bronchial mucus from human airway cultures to identify components that influence influenza A virus inhibition.

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.

This study quantifies how salt concentration affects influenza A virus inactivation in drying droplets and explains airborne virus transmission mechanisms.

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.

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.
