A mathematical model describing the localization and spread of influenza A virus infection within the human respiratory tract [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Comput Biol. 2020 Apr 13;16(4):e1007705, 2019
Within the human respiratory tract (HRT), viruses diffuse through the periciliary fluid (PCF) bathing the epithelium, and travel upwards via advection towards the nose and mouth, as the mucus escalator entrains the PCF. While many mathematical models (MMs) to date have described the course of influenza A virus (IAV) infections in vivo, none have ...

Deposition distribution of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in the human airways upon exposure to cough-generated aerosol [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports 2020, 10, 22430, 2020
The new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been emerged as a rapidly spreading pandemic. The disease is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. The pathogen of COVID-19 is the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Epidemiology of Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

open access: yesJournal of Chemotherapy, 1995
The aim of this review is to focus on the epidemiology of lower respiratory tract infections, the etiology, prognosis and risk factors, dividing these problems into the following issues: global impact of these afflictions, community-acquired pneumonia, hospital acquired pneumonia, respiratory infections in surgery, acute bronchitis and exacerbations of

A comprehensive analysis of the effect of ventilation and climatic conditions on covid-19 transmission through respiratory droplet transport via both airborne and fomite mode inside an elevator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The risks of disease transmission due to these droplets are significantly high in confined public spaces like elevators. A numerical analysis using OpenFOAM has been performed in this work to investigate the droplet dispersion routes in an enclosed environment resembling an elevator.

Social networks in relation to self-reported symptomatic infections in individuals aged 40-75 - the Maastricht study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Most infections are spread through social networks (detrimental effect). However, social networks may also lower infection acquisition (beneficial effect).
