Airborne Transmission Definition:
Type of transmission in which the pathogen is suspended in the air and travels over a meter or more from the source to the host.
Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton
Airborne Transmission Notes:
Airborne transmission takes place when microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria travel via air, when these are attached to the dust particles or on tiny respiratory droplets. Infected people can transmit these microorganisms when they laugh, sneeze, exhale or cough. They stay in air like smoke, which is invisible and can travel long distances.
