Primary Hosts
Bats carrying the bat-nCoV
pinaka cause
Intermediate Hosts
- MERS-CoV: dromedary camel
- SARS-CoV: palm civet cat
- SARS-CoV-2: still unclear
SARS-CoV-2: still unclear but suspected to be as ** wild animal**s such as pangolin, mink, turtle, snake, or ferrets
Manner of
Transmission
Human-to-human
through airborne, droplets and aerosols contaminated surfaces, stool and fecal swabs, and urine (least amount of virus).
Infected Organs
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2+)
o Rectum
o Digestive system
o Urinary system
o Respiratory system
o Circulatory system
Host Cell Receptiors
MERS-CoV
CD26 or DPP4 (dipeptidyl peptidase 4)
Host Cell Receptiors
ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2)
SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2
Coronavirus Transmission
Contaminated objects and surfaces that transmit coronavirus from your hands to your eyes, nose or mouth
Fomites
Coronavirus Transmission
spread is more likely on hand, non-sporous materials like metals and plastics
Fomites
Coronavirus Transmission
how to avoid spread and contact of fomite
Regular use of hand sanitizer and vigorous hand washing
Coronavirus Transmission
Moist particles expelled from speaking, breathing,
coughing and sneezing.
Droplets
Coronavirus Transmission
They are considered to be the primary vector of COVID-19 infection
Droplets
Coronavirus Transmission
Virus-bearing droplets can spread coronavirus through the ?
eyes, nose, or mouth
Coronavirus Transmission
TOF
Droplets remain airborne for long
F
does not
Coronavirus Transmission
distance to limit exposure for droplets
6 feet
masks covering the mouth and nose are the best prevention. This is along with eye protection and staying in an open area.
Coronavirus Transmission
tiny particulates that infected carriers exhale, especially when shouting, singing or speaking
Aerosols
Coronavirus Transmission
mostly inhaled as a means of transmitting the
virus
Aerosols
TOF
Unlike droplets, aerosols can remain airborne for several hours, can travel further than 6 feet, and may accumulate, especially in poorly ventilated, closed spaces
T
Coronavirus Transmission
TOF
Masks, worn snugly and properly, are extremely effective at containing aerosols
T
Coronavirus Transmission
TOF
Remaining indors, where aerosols cannot accumulate also prevents transmission
F (outdoors)
