title: Transmission by super-spreading event of pandemic A/H1N1 2009 influenza during road and train travel.
abstract: The investigation of clustered cases of pandemic A/H1N1 2009 influenza virus infection (21 children, 3 adults) during a summer camp, led to the identification of transportation as the circumstance of transmission. Results suggest that super-spreading of flu can occur in a confined space without sufficient air renewal.
