Literature search is divided with regards to the factors determining or influencing the infectivity of the influenza virus.
Known factors determining the infectivity of the virus
- constituents of nasal secretions (e.g. mucus present or no)
- type of the surface (smooth or porous), on which the virus was deposited; smooth surface enhances virus spread
- virus type
- virus concentration
- temperature
- relative humidity (RH)
- exposition to light and UV
- pH
Possible routes of infection
- large droplets (10-20
in diameter) - aerosol (small droplets of diameter < 5 ; aerosols are the source of long-range infections; it seems, that aerosols are the main route of infection)
- direct contact
Particles of diameter < 3
basically do not settle, particles of diameter 5 settle after ~62 min, and those of diameter 100 settle after 10 s.
There is a notion of droplet nucleous, which is a shrunken by evaporation droplet coming from a sneeze or a cough. Initially it have around 20 diameter but it can shrink twice by evaporation. Such droplet nuclei are highly higroscopic. Most sneeze or cough droplets have diameter < 5-10 .
Factors influencing long-range infections
- concentration
- infectious dose
- the number of infectious particles produced
- the duration of shedding by infected carrier
- the stability of the carrier in the environment
