Controlling Infectious Diseases »Controlling Infectious DiseasesControlling Infectious Diseases☜Mapping the issues around endemic diseases—such as malaria, measles, influenza, HIV, Dengue and West Nile Virus—with the aims of identifying improved control strategies and of providing insights into to the work of mathematical biologists, epidemiologists and public health officials in this field.☜F1CEB7

Transmission of flu? »Transmission of flu?Transmission of flu?☜Surprisingly little is known about the transmission of flu, and the importance of airborne transmission relative to droplet transmission remains controversial.☜FFB597

Correlation with absolute humidity »Correlation with absolute humidityCorrelation with absolute humidity☜Shaman and Kohn (2009) found that influenza transmission is modulated by absolute humidity, as opposed to relative humidity.☜98CE71

Correlation with low humidity and low rates of airflow »Correlation with low humidity and low rates of airflowCorrelation with low humidity and low rates of airflow☜Schulman and Kilbourne (1962) performed one of the few controlled experiments of flu transmission, using mice as a model, and concluded (using only four data points) that airborne transmission was positively correlated with low humidity and low rates of airflow.☜98CE71

Explosive spread of epidemics suggests airborne transmission »Explosive spread of epidemics suggests airborne transmissionExplosive spread of epidemics suggests airborne transmission☜It seems difficult to explain the sometimes explosive spread of flu epidemics without some role for airborne transmission.☜98CE71
