Many viruses are capable of infecting the human respiratory tract to cause disease. These viruses display various transmission patterns among humans; however, they all share the ability to transmit from person to person, and their human transmissibility is influenced by the environment in which pathogen and host meet. This review aims to summarize recent and significant observations regarding the impact of environmental factors such as weather and climate, humidity, temperature, and airflow on the transmission of human respiratory viruses. Where possible, knowledge gaps that require further scientific study will be identified.
许多病毒能够感染人体呼吸道而引发疾病。这些病毒在人与人之间的传播方式各不相同，但都具有人际传播的能力，其人际传播能力受到宿主与病原体相遇的环境的影响。本综述旨在总结近期关于天气和气候、湿度、温度和气流等环境因素对人类呼吸道病毒传播影响的重要观察结果。在可能的情况下，还将确定需要进一步科学研究的知识空白。
