Exhaled aerosol transmission of pandemic and seasonal H1N1 influenza viruses in the ferret.
Person-to-person transmission of influenza viruses occurs by contact (direct and fomites) and non-contact (droplet and small particle aerosol) routes, but the quantitative dynamics and relative contributions of these routes are incompletely understood. The transmissibility of influenza strains estim...
