Kinetics and magnitude of viral RNA shedding as indicators for Influenza A virus transmissibility in ferrets

Communications Biology, 2023
The analysis of viral RNA shedding and emission dynamics for 14 diverse influenza viruses in ferrets reveals that efficient ferret-to-ferret transmission via air is directly associated with robust emission of virus-laden particles at early times.
