Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 151: Aerosol Transmission of Norovirus Viruses doi: 10.3390/v16010151 Authors: Mengdi Tan Yi Tian Daitao Zhang Quanyi Wang Zhiyong Gao Norovirus (NoV) is a major cause of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. A comprehensive understanding of the transmission mode is of great significance for the prevention and control of the NoV infection. Currently, the transmission modes of NoV include contact, food-borne, water-borne and aerosol transmission. The first three modes are more common, while aerosol transmission is seldom reported. In this paper, the source, generation mechanism, infectivity, sampling and related outbreaks of NoV aerosol are summarized and discussed.
