Abstract

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of fomite-based transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has not been systematically investigated. In this study, we employed the K18-hACE2 mouse infection model to experimentally assess the relative contribution of fomite transmission. Our findings indicate that while fomite transmission can occur in certain cases, the risk of fomite transmission in natural settings may be relatively low when appropriate hygiene practices are followed. These results may help optimize public health measures for more effective control of the COVID-19 pandemic.

SARS-CoV-2染色体变异在小鼠模型中传播的证据。
在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,尚未对基于污染物的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型(SARS-CoV-2)传播的风险进行系统调查。在本研究中,我们采用K18-hACE2小鼠感染模型,实验评估了螨虫传播的相对贡献。我们的研究结果表明,虽然在某些情况下可能发生污染物传播,但如果遵循适当的卫生习惯,自然环境中污染物传播的风险可能相对较低。这些结果可能有助于优化公共卫生措施,以更有效地控制COVID-19大流行。
