Cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been reported in more than 200
countries. Thousands of health workers have been infected, and outbreaks have occurred in …

The host-to-host transmission of respiratory infectious diseases is fundamentally enabled by
the interaction of pathogens with a variety of fluids (gas or liquid) that shape pathogen …

The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) originated in
Wuhan, China in late 2019, and its resulting coronavirus disease, COVID-19, was declared …

Lack of evidence on SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics has led to shifting isolation
guidelines between airborne and droplet isolation precautions. During the initial isolation of …

Many governments have instructed the population to wear simple mouth-and-nose covers or
surgical face masks to protect themselves from droplet infection with the severe acute …

Previously, we demonstrated a strong correlation between the amplitude of human speech
and the emission rate of micron-scale expiratory aerosol particles, which are believed to …

Knowing the physicochemical properties of exhaled droplets and aerosol particles is a
prerequisite for a detailed mechanistic understanding and effective prevention of the …

Rationale: Aerosol generation with modes of oxygen therapy such as high-flow nasal
cannula and noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation is a concern for healthcare workers …

This study calculates and elucidates the minimum size of respiratory particles that are
potential carriers of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2); …

We review the state of knowledge on the bio-fluid dynamic mechanisms involved in the
transmission of the infection from SARS-CoV-2. The relevance of the subject stems from the …
