The phrase "aerosol spread" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to the transmission of diseases or particles through the air, particularly in the context of respiratory illnesses.
Example: "The researchers studied the aerosol spread of the virus in enclosed spaces to understand its transmission dynamics."
Alternatives: "airborne transmission" or "aerosol transmission".
This leads to the hypothesis that influenza A virus infections initiated by aerosol transmission could have a different clinical presentation on average than infections by the contact or droplet route, and that aerosol spread would be more likely to manifest in fever plus cough.
Fitting the transmission model to the data from each study, we found that under a wide range of assumed efficacies of hand hygiene and face masks, aerosol spread remained the dominant mode of influenza A virus transmission, with consistency in the estimated contribution to overall transmission between the two settings (Fig. 2).
In a unique study on aerosol spread in guinea pigs, influenza has been shown to be more transmissible under cold and dry conditions.[10] Aerolsolization of virus particles in droplets or fomites following a vomiting event is an important feature of norovirus transmission [46], [47] and therefore may be sensitive to similar environmental drivers as influenza.
However, evidence for aerosol spread (especially in unventilated conditions) is available (9 ).
In this study, aerosol spread cannot be distinguished from more general area spread.
Aerosol spread is defined as transmission of PRRSV from herd to herd by a virus travelling through the air.
This discards possible transmission routes such as oral contact or aerosol spreading from infected parents to their nestlings.
Mycoplasma cross-contamination of cultured eukaryotic cells may be an example of another successful strategy, based on commensalism and, again aerosol spreading [6], although in this case the sheer number of different mycoplasma species that are found as contaminants argues against specific adaptation to horizontal spread.
When a large scale sandstorm occurs from these deserts, ASD aerosol spreads over large areas, including East China, the Korean Peninsula and Japan as well as crossing the North Pacific to the United States [ 7– 9].
These proximity events are deemed relevant to direct (through physical contact) or indirect (via aerosols) spread of infections.
Timmreck's team has also found that for midlatitude volcanoes like Yellowstone, the season in which the eruption occurs determines how widely its aerosols spread.
