摘要: Under normal conditions, the risks of transmitting infections in aircraft are probably equal to, or lower than, other crowded enclosures. This is most likely related to excellent ventilation systems built into modern aircraft. However, when system not functioning (as often case prior take-off) cabin environment increases risk for transmission airborne viruses such as measles and influenza.
