Πολύ πιθανή και η έντερο-στοματική μετάδοση.3.3. Transmission routes of the disease
2019-nCoV is thought to be transmitted through droplets, close contact, aerosol and maybe fecal-oral transmission, and patients in the incubation period can transmit the virus to other persons [5]. The distribution of the viral receptor can explain the pathogenic mechanisms, clinical manifestations and transmission routes of 2019-nCoV [22, 23]. ACE2, a receptor for 2019-nCoV, is necessary for the viral entry of 2019-nCoV. The ubiquitous expression of ACE2 in various cells, such as lung AT2 cells, esophagus upper, stratified epithelial cells, and absorptive enterocytes of ileum and colon may contribute to the multi tissue infection of 2019-nCoV [24]. Therefore, beside respiratory and bodily contact, fecal-oral transmission is a potential route for 2019-nCoV infection [25, 26].
