Detection and Isolation of Airborne Influenza A H3N2 Virus Using a Sioutas Personal Cascade Impactor Sampler
The air we breathe contains microorganisms that can cause infectious respiratory diseases. After two occupants of an apartment were diagnosed with influenza in February of 2013, efforts were made to detect and isolate airborne influenza virus using two different types of active air samplers: a Sioutas Personal Cascade Impactor Sampler (PCIS) and an SKC BioSampler. The PCIS collects size-fractio...
متن کاملViable influenza A virus in airborne particles expelled during coughs versus exhalations
BACKGROUND To prepare for a possible influenza pandemic, a better understanding of the potential for the airborne transmission of influenza from person to person is needed. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to directly compare the generation of aerosol particles containing viable influenza virus during coughs and exhalations. METHODS Sixty-one adult volunteer outpatients with influ...
متن کاملSampling methodologies and dosage assessment techniques for submicrometre and ultrafine virus aerosol particles.
AIMS The aerosolization and collection of submicrometre and ultrafine virus particles were studied with the objective of developing robust and accurate methodologies to study airborne viruses. METHODS AND RESULTS The collection efficiencies of three sampling devices used to sample airborne biological particles - the All Glass Impinger 30, the SKC BioSampler and a frit bubbler - were evaluated...
متن کاملMeasurements of Airborne Influenza Virus in Aerosol Particles from Human Coughs
Influenza is thought to be communicated from person to person by multiple pathways. However, the relative importance of different routes of influenza transmission is unclear. To better understand the potential for the airborne spread of influenza, we measured the amount and size of aerosol particles containing influenza virus that were produced by coughing. Subjects were recruited from patients...
متن کاملAirborne Influenza A Is Detected in the Personal Breathing Zone of Swine Veterinarians
The 2009 H1N1 pandemic emphasized a need to evaluate zoonotic transmission of influenza A in swine production. Airborne influenza A virus has been detected in swine facilities during an outbreak. However, the personal exposure of veterinarians treating infected swine has not been characterized. Two personal bioaerosol samplers, the NIOSH bioaerosol sampler and the personal high-flow inhalable s...
