  3. Airborne transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_transmission

    Aerosol transmission has traditionally been considered distinct from transmission by droplets, but this distinction is no longer used. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Respiratory droplets were thought to rapidly fall to the ground after emission: [ 5 ] but smaller droplets and aerosols also contain live infectious agents, and can remain in the air longer and ...

    Influenza A virus and influenza B virus co-circulate, so have the same patterns of transmission. [1] The seasonality of influenza C virus, however, is poorly understood. Influenza C virus infection is most common in children under the age of two, and by adulthood most people have been exposed to it.

    Asymptomatic carriers play a critical role in the transmission of common infectious diseases such as typhoid, HIV, C. difficile, influenzas, cholera, tuberculosis, and COVID-19, [2] although the latter is often associated with "robust T-cell immunity" in more than a quarter of patients studied.
