Influenza A virus is transmissible via aerosolized fomites

Influenza viruses are believed to transmit through the air as respiratory droplets or aerosols. In the guinea pig model, Asadi et al. show that influenza virus can also be transmitted as aerosolized fomites, which are microscopic dust particles stirred up from a virus-contaminated environment.
