Ringworm lesion on forearm caused by " Microsporum gypseum ", incurred from fomite exposure through handling of firewood . The species is keratinophilic and is known for causing diseases on human skin.

Dourine is a unique disease in the sense that it has no known vectors or fomites existing in the natural world, other than members of the equine family, including donkeys, mules, and horses.
23.
It has been suggested that radiographic markers are a potential fomite for harmful bacteria such as MRSA, and that they should be cleaned on a regular basis; this, however, is not always done.
24.
Other scientists determine the virus is spread by fomites, with a basic reproduction number of four when the virus mutates, with projections of one in twelve of the population being infected, and a 25-30 % mortality rate.
25.
Fomites, or objects that harbor and can transmit disease, have been used deliberately to transmit disease since antiquity, said another group of scientists from Fort Detrick, writing in an August 1997 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
26.
Control is done by cleaning and disinfection of these sites, or by using traps for the mites . " Psoroptes " mites of sheep can survive for several weeks on fomites of wool on structures of pens and transport trucks, so cleaning and disinfecting these structures reduces infestation.
27.
During Reed's tenure with the U . S . Army Yellow Fever Commission in Cuba, the board both confirmed the transmission by mosquitoes and disproved the common belief that yellow fever could be transmitted by clothing and bedding soiled by the body fluids and excrement of yellow fever sufferers articles known as fomites.
28.
Because spread is thought to occur through direct contact with afflicted individuals, large outbreaks have been known to occur in schools and other places where children are in close quarters; however, indirect spread through contamination with infected objects ( " fomites " ) may also be a factor in the spread of infection.

Contamination on paper makes it harder to keep records in Ebola clinics, as data about patients written on paper that gets written down in a " hot " zone is hard to pass to a " safe " zone, because if there is any contamination it may bring Ebola into that area . ( see also Fomites)
30.
This relied on rules summarised by Donald Hopkins; Systematic inoculation throughout the country, isolation of patients, decontamination of potentially contaminated fomites, supervised inspectors responsible for specific districts, rewards for observation of rules for isolation by poor persons, fines for transgression of those rules, inspection of vessels at ports, and prayers every Sunday.
