Surface to hand transfer of viruses represents a potential mechanism for human exposure. Transmission of pathogens may involve a range of routes and has high complexity due to behavioural and situational circumstances of humans living in complex environments.<\/p>\n

One route that can be pertinent to both respiratory and gastrointestinal pathogens is transmission by touching contaminated items, such as high-touch fomites (e.g., door handle, table surfaces, arm rests, utensils, etc.), or contact with individuals (e.g., hand shaking).<\/p>\n

This article,\u00a0published in an\u00a0MDPI Viruses special edition on\u00a0Aerosol Transmission of Viral Disease<\/span><\/a>, and produced by researchers from Theme 2 of the PROTECT NCS<\/span><\/a>, explores the effect of relative humidity on transfer of aerosol-deposited artificial and human saliva from surfaces to artificial finger-pads.<\/p>\n
