Evidence for a semisolid phase state of aerosols and droplets relevant to the airborne and surface survival of pathogens

Erik Huynh et al.

Summary: The humidity-dependent phase changes of respiratory aerosols and droplets play a significant role in the survival of pathogens. This study reveals the formation of organic-based, semisolid phase states at intermediate humidity, which inhibit diffusion and disinfection processes. These findings highlight the importance of considering the semisolid phase in understanding the recovery of virus viability at low humidity.

Biological and molecular characterization of fEg-Eco19, a lytic bacteriophage active against an antibiotic-resistant clinical Escherichia coli isolate

Shimaa Badawy et al.

Summary: Characterization of bacteriophages can provide valuable information about their biology, host specificity, genomic diversity, and adaptation to bacterial hosts. In this study, a bacteriophage fEg-Eco19 was isolated and characterized, which showed effectiveness against the clinical pathogen Escherichia coli. The phage belongs to the order Caudovirales and has a narrow host range. Its genome is 45,805 bp long with 76 predicted genes, which are involved in various functional groups.

Stability of SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses in the environment and on common touch surfaces and the influence of climatic conditions: A review

Hamada A. Aboubakr et al.

Summary: Global efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 are unprecedented, yet confirmed cases are increasing rapidly. Effective preventive measures are urgently needed, focusing on understanding the virus's transmission routes, environmental stability, and persistence on various surfaces. SARS-CoV-2 may be transmitted through the air and poses potential risks of faecal-oral, foodborne, and waterborne transmission.

A review on favipiravir: the properties, function, and usefulness to treat COVID-19

Seyed MohammadReza Hashemian et al.

Summary: Favipiravir has broad-spectrum antiviral activity against single-stranded RNA viruses, good tolerability in humans, and a high barrier to resistance. However, high doses are required for efficient antiviral activity, it is teratogenic in pregnant women and associated with hyperuricemia, so drug administration should be carefully controlled. Investigating Favipiravir's antiviral prophylactic potency and searching for pro-drugs or analogs with improved activity and safety are crucial.

Investigating SARS-CoV-2 persistent contamination in different indoor environments

He Liu et al.

Summary: This study found that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be detected in room-temperature environments at least 57 days after exposure, much longer than previously reported. Additionally, infectious SARS-CoV-2 could exist for at least 60 days on the surface of cold-chain food packages. Doorknobs and toilets were identified as important areas in COVID-19 control. High-risk populations involved in cold-chain logistics operations, such as porters, require strict prevention measures and high-level personal protection.

Survival of Virus Particles in Water Droplets: Hydrophobic Forces and Landauer's Principle

Edward Bormashenko et al.

Summary: Viruses self-assemble in water environments through hydrophobic forces, driven by the system's tendency to attain the maximum disordered state, similar to entropic forces in information systems. These interactions also exhibit similarities with self-assembly processes in colloidal crystals, droplet clusters, and liquid marbles on the submicron scale.

Influence of temperature, and of relative and absolute humidity on COVID-19 incidence in England - A multi-city time-series study

Luise N. Nottmeyer et al.

Summary: This study found a nonlinear association between COVID-19 cases and temperature, with increased risk at lower temperatures. Absolute humidity and relative humidity also showed correlations with elevated risk of COVID-19 cases. This suggests that meteorological variables likely play a role in influencing the development of COVID-19 cases in England.

The SARS-COV-2 outbreak around the Amazon rainforest: The relevance of the airborne transmission

Edilson Crema

Summary: The study found that the virus spreads faster in the Amazon region of Brazil, which could be attributed to the very high air humidity, rather than the usual ambient temperatures. Additionally, collective immunity may have been achieved in the Amazonian population at a contamination rate of about 15%.

The Stability of an Isolate of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 Lineage in Aerosols Is Similar to 3 Earlier Isolates

Michael Schuit et al.

Summary: The study found that the stability of currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 lineages, including the B.1.1.7 lineage, in aerosols does not vary greatly, suggesting that the increased transmissibility associated with recent SARS-CoV-2 lineages is not due to enhanced survival in the environment.

Mechanistic theory predicts the effects of temperature and humidity on inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 and other enveloped viruses

Dylan H. Morris et al.

Summary: In this study, the stability of SARS-CoV-2 on inert surfaces under different temperature and humidity conditions was measured, and a mechanistic model was developed to explain and predict how temperature and humidity affect virus inactivation. The results showed that the virus survives longest at low temperatures and extreme humidity, with implications for understanding virus transmission mechanisms and strategies to mitigate transmission risk. The mechanistic model accurately predicted measurements of five different human coronaviruses, suggesting shared mechanisms may affect stability across various viruses.

Summary: The study found that lower air temperature, lower specific humidity, and lower ultraviolet radiation were significantly associated with increased transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2, with humidity playing the largest role. In total, 17.5% of R-t was attributable to meteorological factors, with higher attributions in northern counties than in southern counties.
