Survival of Influenza Viruses on Environmental Surfaces

Survival of Influenza Viruses on Environmental Surfaces

To investigate the transmission of influenza viruses via hands and environmental surfaces, the survival of laboratory-grown influenza A and influenza B viruses on various surfaces was studied. Both influenza A and B viruses survived for 24–48 hr on hard, nonporous surfaces such as stainless steel an...
