In a recent study published on the preprint server medRxiv*, researchers discuss their development of a simulation model to characterize the risks and uncertainties associated with infections ...

Using high-performance computation systems, the team has simulated the flow of air produced by sneezing in unprecedented detail. The results give greater insight into the capacity of infectious ...

Experiments used the Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) as an animal model to conclusively demonstrate that aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is evolving. It’s long been clear that SARS-CoV-2, the ...

Superspreading events and overdispersion are characteristics of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, similar to other outbreaks of respiratory viruses. Here, the term "superspreading" ...

Series of aerosol transport hindcasts for West Africa were conducted using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model coupled to chemistry within the NASA-Unified WRF (NU-WRF) framework. The ...

Dr. Martin Gengenbacher of the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) and colleagues have published a paper about the dynamics of tuberculosis transmission through coughs.

Tuberculosis has been a scourge upon humanity throughout history. In killing more than a million each year worldwide, it remains the leading cause of death from a single infectious pathogen. While ...
