One of three uninfected ferrets in neighboring cages also caught the virus, suggesting that it can also transmit through airborne droplets when an infected animal sneezes or coughs.

Influenza: the great and terrible Influenza viruses rapidly spread by airborne droplets during sneezing, coughing and even talking.

So although these Bronze Age people suffered from the plague, they probably got it from airborne droplets, contaminated food, or the transmission of bodily fluids, rather than from fleas that infested rodents, as did Europeans during the Black Death and other pandemics.

TB spreads in airborne droplets.

Influenza viruses rapidly spread by airborne droplets during sneezing, coughing and even talking.

The virus is spread through secretions in saliva, respiratory passages, urine, and feces and by inhalation of airborne droplets from sneezes and coughs.

Ron Fouchier of the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, reported at a flu conference in Malta in September that giving H5N1 two mutations known to adapt it to mammals, then passing the modified virus repeatedly between ferrets, led to further mutations and an H5N1 that was just as deadly but spread readily in airborne droplets.

A team of scientists led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory atmospheric researcher Dr. Susannah Burrows and collaborator Daniel McCoy, who studies clouds and climate at the University of Washington, reveal how tiny natural particles given off by marine organisms — airborne droplets and solid particles called aerosols — nearly double cloud droplet numbers in the summer, which boosts the amount of sunlight reflected back to space.
