Diseases listed as "airborne" in the Control of Communicable Diseases Manual.

Aspergillosis

Brucellosis

Chickenpox

Coccidioidomycosis

Norwalk disease

Histoplasmosis

Influenza

Legionellosis

Measles

Mumps

Parapertussis

I won't do any more for right now. Here's the forward, from WHO:

Here's the authors' definition of airborne, which excludes droplets.

_Pertussis and_ parapertussis, I should have said above.

nb the confusing mention of airborne, then droplets. By own definition airborne excludes droplets.

Plague.

pic 3 if pneumonic plague, 48 hours strict airborne isolation.

Mycoplasmal pneumonia.

Note: Says droplet but "inhaled". So, airborne - i.e. floating somewhat.

Note the comment about frequent household attack.

Note pic 3 the mention that treatment doesn't remove the entity. How long does SARS-CoV-2 last? We don't actually know for sure.

Pneumocystitis pneumonia

Airborne known for rats and we do not know how humans transmit.

[ed Yes yes mice/rats are not humans.]

Pneumonia from chlamydia pneumoniae

Airborne possible. Long lasting.

Q fever

Airborne over distance.

Rabies

viral cold (various viruses)

Note again with "inhalation of airborne droplets", which is contradictory of the definition of airborne.

Also studies show these things are airborne.

SARS

"Strict" PPE including airborne

Staph

Staph in nurseries

Note length of colonization time before symptoms.

Tuberculosis TB

Inhaled droplet nuclei (epi term for tiny floating aerosols)

That is the end of my search for "airborne".

I am not reviewing the whole book for "inhalation droplets" whatever on earth that means other than as a way to allow that droplets travel further than droplets ought to travel.

Enjoy.

My typo: *definition of _droplet_
