Airborne smallpox virus has been recovered in an isolation hospital using an adhesive surface sampling technique in the presence of very low aerosol concentrations. Previous work in this field is reviewed. Successful recovery of airborne virus depends on sampling large volumes of air with a suitable sampler and thorough investigation of the whole sample taken for the presence of viable virus. More information on the characteristics and behaviour of airborne smallpox virus is needed in particular with regard to the future design and siting of smallpox isolation units.
在一家隔离医院,采用粘性表面采样技术,在极低气溶胶浓度的情况下,已采集到空气传播的天花病毒。本文回顾了该领域以前的工作。成功采集到空气传播的病毒取决于使用合适的采样器采集大量空气,并对采集的整个样本进行全面调查,以确定是否存在活病毒。特别是在天花隔离病房的未来设计和选址方面,需要更多关于空气传播天花病毒特性和行为的信息。
