The airborne microbiome - implications for aerosol transmission and infection control

Many infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis, whooping cough, Aspergillus and other fungal infections, human and avian influenza, measles, chickenpox, and some of the emerging viruses, such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) can all be potentially spread through aerosol transmission.

This series aims to explore and characterise the airborne microbiome in different environments, using different methods, in order to understand and assess the risk that such airborne pathogens may pose to both vulnerable and otherwise healthy individuals, and explore possible interventions to control their transmission. We welcome submission of research articles and opinion pieces focused on the airborne microbiome in relation to infectious diseases. The deadline for submissions of manuscripts is 30th September 2017.
