| Abstract | A model for estimating pathogen exposure via fomite transmission and for predicting the infection risk was proposed. The estimation of exposure was based on the amount of pathogen-laden expiratory aerosols deposited on surfaces, which was obtained by particle-tracking simulations. In a hypothetical case of influenza transmission in an aircraft cabin mock-up, spatial distribution of infection risks according to the aerosol deposition characteristics was revealed using the proposed model. The passengers next to and immediately in front of the source had infection risks via the fomite transmission route 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than other passengers. The proposed model can be a tool for investigating the effects of different parameters on infection risks by fomite transmission. |
