English term

fomite

COVID-19 GBK English to Albanian Medical Medical (general)
Definition from Kaiser Family Foundation:
An inanimate object that can be the vehicle for transmission of an infectious agent (e.g., bedding, towels, or surgical instruments). There is evidence that coronavirus spreads via fomites although, this is a less common route of transmission.
Example sentences:
Most ominously, the authors found a number of similarities in aerosol and fomite transmission between this virus and SARS-CoV-1. (MedPage Today)
Our results indicate that aerosol and fomite transmission of HCoV-19 is plausible, as the virus can remain viable in aerosols for multiple hours. (FOX 10 Phoenix)
However, dogs and cats can potentially be fomites for the virus. What on Earth is a fomite? A fomite is an object that can transport or carry disease. (Alaska Highway News)

Mbase më drejtë do ishte të përdorej termi "objekte bartëse" që luajnë rol në transmetimin e agjentëve infektivë.
Definition from Kaiser Family Foundation:
Objekt transmetues, fomit, quhet një objekt jo i gjallë i cili mund të shërbejë si mjeti transmetues për një agjent infeksioni (p.sh. çërçafë, peshqirë apo instrumente kirurgjike). Ekzistojnë prova se koronavirusi shpërndahet nëpërmjet objekteve transmetuese (fomiteve), megjithatë kjo është një rrugë transmetimi më pak e zakonëshme.
Example sentences:
Rezultatet tona tregojnë se transmetimi i HCoV-19 nëpërmjet grimcave pezull të lagështirës (aerosole) dhe objekteve të transmetimit (fomite), është i mundshëm, për arësye se virusi mund të mbetet tek ato aktiv për shumë orë. (FOX 10 Phoenix)
