Read about transmission of infectious diseases through respiratory droplets. ... Droplet transmission occurs when bacteria or viruses travel on relatively large respiratory droplets that people sneeze, cough, drip, or exhale. They travel only short distances before settling, usually less than 3 feet.

Airborne transmission occurs when bacteria or viruses travel on dust particles or on small respiratory droplets that may become aerosolized when people sneeze, cough, laugh, or exhale. ... These droplets are loaded with infectious particles. With airborne transmission, direct contact with someone who is infected is not...

The main way that influenza viruses are thought to spread is from person to person in respiratory droplets of coughs and sneezes. (This is called "droplet spread.") This can happen when droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person are propelled through the air and deposited on the mouth or nose of people nearby.

The transmission of SARS appears to occur predominantly by direct contact with infectious material, including dispersal of large respiratory droplets. However, it is also possible that SARS can be spread through the airborne route.

When droplets are recovered by settling, by impaction or by some form of air sampler, it is necessary to calculate the airborne diameter of the original droplet from the diameter of the stain left after recovery. ... When a glass slide was used, the diameters of the original droplets were about half those of the stain marks.
