“…Its survival has been examined in two studies. Both revealed a survival from less than one day up to 13 days on wood, clothing, metal and rubber surfaces [112,113]. Next to the type of surface, also effects of sunlight [112], temperature [115], medium [116] and bacterial life form [114] have been demonstrated.…”

For the prevention of infectious diseases, knowledge about transmission routes is essential. In addition to respiratory, fecal–oral, and sexual transmission, the transfer of pathogens via surfaces plays a vital role for human pathogenic infections—especially nosocomial pathogens. Therefore, information about the survival of pathogens on surfaces can have direct implications on clinical measures, including hygiene guidelines and disinfection strategies. In this review, we reviewed the existing literature regarding viral, bacterial, and fungal persistence on inanimate surfaces. In particular, the current knowledge of the survival time and conditions of clinically relevant pathogens is summarized. While many pathogens persist only for hours, common nosocomial pathogens can survive for days to weeks under laboratory conditions and thereby potentially form a continuous source of transmission if no adequate inactivation procedures are performed.

“…Strangles morbidity may be high but mortality from the disease usually is low, despite the sizeable abscesses formed. Although highly contagious, S. equi only survives in the environment for a relatively short period (Weese et al 2009;Durham et al 2018) and relies on being transmitted through nasal secretions and contaminated fomites, with shedding occurring 2 to 3 days after onset of pyrexia (Boyle et al 2018).…”
