Morris, Myndi G. Holbrook, Amandine Gamble, Danielle Adney, Cara Bushmaker et al. "Comparative aerosol and surface stability of SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern." Emerging Infectious Diseases 29, no. 5 (2023): 1033.1080-6040https://scholarworks.montana.edu/handle/1/18071SARS-CoV-2 transmits principally by air; contact and fomite transmission may also occur. Variants of concern are more transmissible than ancestral SARS-CoV-2. We found indications of possible increased aerosol and surface stability for early variants of concern, but not for the Delta and Omicron variants. Stability changes are unlikely to explain increased transmissibility.en-UScc-byhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/aerosolsurface stabilitysars-cov-2sars-cov-2 variantsArticle
