Aerosol mixtures of the psittacosis agent, yellow fever virus, and variola virus were assayed by selective immunofluorescence in conjunction with fluorescent cell counting. The aerosol behavior of each agent could be readily delineated at test conditions of 80 F (26.67 C) and three relative humidities (30, 50, or 80%). Of the three agents, variola virus exhibited the lowest biological decay. The biological decay rates of the airborne agents were not significantly affected by humidity changes.
通过选择性免疫荧光结合荧光细胞计数法对鹦鹉热病原体、黄热病病毒和天花病毒的气溶胶混合物进行了检测。在80°F(26.67°C)和三种相对湿度(30%、50%或80%)的测试条件下,每种病原体的气溶胶行为都能很容易地被描绘出来。在这三种病原体中,天花病毒的生物衰减率最低。空气中病原体的生物衰减率不受湿度变化的显著影响。
