  2. Airborne transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_transmission

    Airborne transmission is complex, and hard to demonstrate unequivocally [20] but the Wells-Riley model can be used to make simple estimates of infection probability. [21] Some airborne diseases can affect non-humans. For example, Newcastle disease is an avian disease that affects many types of domestic poultry worldwide that is airborne.

    Air travel, like other forms of travel, radically increases the speed at which infections spread around the world, as viruses rapidly spread to large numbers of people living across the world. Human and cargo traffic greatly facilitates the spread of pathogens across the world, [7] [8] for example during the COVID-19 pandemic.
