The price of eggs is going up as highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza spreads in the U.S. and continues to pose serious threats to poultry farms worldwide. In just the past 30 days, no fewer than 23 ...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that the strain of avian influenza found in U.S. cows is not easily transmitted through the air among ferrets, but it does have some capability ...

SINGAPORE – A collaborative research effort between the A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs (A*STAR IDL) and the A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing (A*STAR IHPC) has provided new insights into ...

Highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza was detected in dairy cattle for the first time in the United States in March, with nine states reporting outbreaks by May. While the method of transmission ...

Researchers visualized and measured the flow field of aerosol particles derived from exhaled air and examined the risk of viral exposure during face-to-face encounters, such as while walking, jogging, ...

In a recent article published in the PNAS Journal, researchers investigated the dynamics of airborne diseases in a population attending consecutive meetings in enclosed spaces hosted at different time ...

While H5N1 avian influenza virus taken from infected cow’s milk makes mice and ferrets sick when dripped into their noses, airborne transmission of the virus between ferrets — a common model for human ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers in the United Kingdom assess the ability of propylene glycol (PG) to inactivate infection caused by respiratory viruses and ...

A striking new case study published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases illustrates just how pervasive SARS-CoV-2 aerosol transmission can be, describing a trio of infections in a Taiwan ...

“Is no one interested in understanding the dynamics of airborne infection, probably the greatest single cause of morbidity in humans?” The exasperation boils over midway through Carl Zimmer’s ...
