Methods for Sampling of Airborne Viruses

摘要: To better understand the underlying mechanisms of aerovirology, accurate sampling airborne viruses is fundamental. The instruments commonly used in aerobiology have also been to recover suspended air. We reviewed over 100 papers evaluate methods currently for viral aerosol sampling. Differentiating infections caused by direct contact from those dissemination can be a very demanding task given wide variety sources aerosols. While epidemiological data help determine source contamination, obtained air samples provide useful information risk assessment purposes. Many types samplers years, including liquid impingers, solid impactors, filters, electrostatic precipitators, and many others. efficiencies these depend on environmental methodological factors that affect integrity virus structure. aerodynamic size distribution has effect sampler efficiency. Viral aerosols studied under controlled laboratory conditions, using biological or nonbiological tracers surrogate viruses, which are discussed this review. Lastly, general recommendations made regarding future studies viruses.
