| Moreover, they may contaminate fomites that can transmit the disease to persons who do not have direct contact with the animals. |
|
| Many viral infections are spread chiefly by aerosol, rather than by fomites or personal contact. |
|
| Transmission is by person to person and fomites, such as bedding and clothing. |
|
| Transmission by virus-contaminated hands or fomites is less likely. |
|
| Tongs are an example of what epidemiologists call fomites — objects that convey infectious agents between individuals. |
|
| Documented vehicles for transmission of enteroviruses include water, aerosols and fomites. |
|
| And fomites, if you look for them, are just about everywhere: tabletops, doorknobs, toilet seats, stethoscopes. |
|
| Special care should be taken to avoid spreading infection between animals through fomites, including through personnel traffic between animal rooms. |
|
| Reed found no evidence that yellow fever could be conveyed by fomites, and he showed that a house became infected only by the presence of infected mosquitoes. |
|
| Many such objects a handkerchief or a towel, for example—may convey infection under favourable conditions, and, when they do so, they are known as fomites. |
|
| Smooth objects, like tongs, make better fomites than porous ones, like dollar bills, because infectious agents protrude from their surfaces and can be detached more easily. |
|
| During most of the 19th century it had been widely held that yellow fever was spread by fomites i.e., articles such as bedding and clothing that had been used by a yellow-fever patient. |
|
| Airocide even reduces surface contamination by removing airborne organisms that settle on fomites. |
|
| These vectors include, but are not limited, to humans, domestic and wild animals, or indirectly via contaminated water, insects, workers, or fomites such as dust, tools and equipment. |
|
| There is, as yet, no direct evidence for weighing the relative contribution of droplets, droplet nuclei, direct contact, or fomites in the transmission of influenza. |
|
| Waste management is also an issue, as masks dropped in the forest would become fomites carrying concentrated potentially-infectious particles with significant disease risk. |
|
| The occasional occurrence of 'outbreaks' of campylobacter in closed, all-male production centres suggests that it may be spread environmentally or by fomites. |
|
| This figure depicts how resistant organisms or genetic elements can be spread among populations of bacteria, animals or humans by direct contact, or via secondary sources such as water, food, or fomites. |
|
| Source of outbreak or origin of infection: fomites. |
|
| Transmission of virus from person to person is generally by contact with secretions from eyes, nose or mouth, and via fomites such as contaminated towels. |
|
|
|
| Cases outside these regions often result from travel, infection reactivation, latent infection in immunosuppressed hosts, or exposure to fomites from mycosis-endemic areas. |
