It has an ability to persist on fomites with a moist surface for 1 to 2 hours.

It can be transmitted through the air, orally, and on fomites.

Regulations prohibiting citizens from coming into contact with known fomites went back almost four thousand years.

Aerosolization of the virus and transmission by fomites also may occur.

Stethoscopes and neckties are two such fomites associated with health care providers.

It can also be indirectly spread by fomites.

Spread is by fomites, including hands, calves' mouths, and milking machines.

Handling objects that have the virus on them (fomites), such as a towel, can also result in infection.

Fomites with smooth hard surfaces e.g. glass, are easier to clean than those made of fabric.

Orf is spread by fomites and direct contact.

Transmission is horizontal via the faeces, and can be direct or indirectly spread by fomites.

Disinfection by physical and chemical means is important in preventing the spread of infection by fomites.

Therefore, the possibility of indirect transmission via contaminated drinking containers and other fomites cannot be discounted.

Outbreaks have occurred in clinical facilities where health workers have been exposed to infected blood and fomites.

Fomites such as clothing, contaminated food, cages, bedding, feeders and water will also harbour the virus.

Indirect transmission occurs through numerous routes, including via contaminated water, food, and fomites (inanimate objects).

The virus turns out to spread via fomites with a basic reproduction number of two, that is, each patient infects two more patients on average.

I will also be culturing equipment, bedding, and other fomites in the ICU.

Contaminated fomites, such as dusty clothing or agricultural products, also have been implicated as sources of infection (318).

Transmission occurs by direct contact, or via respiratory aerosol droplets, or fomites.

Transmission of RHD occurs by direct contact with an infected animal and fomites.

The virus is shed in saliva and eye and nasal secretions, and can also be spread by fomites.

GaHV-1 is shed in respiratory secretions and transmitted by droplet inhalation or via fomites.

Apart from hand-to-mouth infection, Shigellosis is transmitted through fomites, water and mechanical vectors like houseflies.

Fomites are associated particularly with hospital acquired infections (HAI), as they are possible routes to pass pathogens between patients.
