Controlled human influenza infection reveals heterogeneous expulsion of infectious virus into air

2025-11-05

Abstract excerpt

Influenza virus is transmitted via respiratory expulsions, but detection of infectious virus in such expulsions has been challenging. Here, we describe quantification and genotyping of infectious virus in respiratory particles using a Modular Influenza Sampling Tunnel (MIST). The particles deposit on cell monolayers, enabling culture, quantification, and sequencing of viruses. Concomitantly, water-sensitive paper...
