A number of viruses have been shown to be transmitted by the airborne route. It is the ability of these viruses to retain their infectivity for living hosts which play a key role in their aerial dissemination. Data generated by a number of workers on the airborne survival of viruses varies considerably because laboratory techniques have not been standardized. About 5 yr ago we started studies on the airborne survival of a number of animal and human viruses. This paper describes the methodology developed to study the aerobiology of these viruses. These methods should be useful in the aerobiological work of other viruses.
许多病毒已被证明可通过空气传播途径传播。这些病毒对活体宿主保持其传染性的能力在其空气传播中起着关键作用。许多研究人员所获得的关于病毒在空气中存活的数据差异很大,因为实验室技术尚未标准化。大约5年前,我们开始研究多种动物和人类病毒在空气中的存活情况。本文描述了为研究这些病毒的空气生物学而开发的方法。这些方法在其他病毒的空气生物学研究中应该会很有用。
