“…Over the past decade, a substantial research effort has been directed toward identifying pathogens in seawater (Lewis, 1995;Baker & Bovard, 1996;Bronze, Huycke, Machado, Voskuhl, & Greenfield, 2002) and toward determining survival of viruses and bacteria and preservation of their infectivity in the airborne phase (Hyslop, 1979;Cole & Cook, 1998;Kong, Lee, Law, Law, & Wu, 2002). We have shown that bacteria were enriched ∼ 6-fold from subsurface waters to the sea SML water, but were up to 22-fold enriched in marine aerosols compared to bulk seawater.…”

“…Animal tests for airborne infection consider many physical and biological aspects of pathogen viability and infectivity. Some researchers have reported studies using guinea pigs, monkeys, and cattle [1,42,45]. Although many pathogenic species are common to humans and these animals, some difficulties exist in extrapolating the viability and infectivity measurements to humans using these tests.…”

“…Additional methods of contagious spread, such as airborne transmission, have also been investigated. Experimentation has shown that airborne transmission is a theoretical possibility over several hundred metres (21), but circumstantial evidence does not support the hypothesis that this type of transmission plays a role in the spread of the disease under natural conditions. Furthermore, the fragile nature of the virus ensures that most infectivity survives for only a few hours outside the host, though some may persist, under favourable conditions, for up to two to four days (35,47).…”
