Sensitivity optimisation of tuberculosis bioaerosol sampling.
PLoS ONE, 2020 IntroductionDetection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in patient-derived bioaerosol is a potential tool to measure source case infectiousness. However, current bioaerosol sampling approaches have reported low detection yields in sputum-positive TB ...

Indoor bioaerosol dynamics [PDF]
Indoor Air, 2014 Inhaling indoor air is the primary means by which humans are exposed to bioaerosols. Considering bacteria, fungi, and viruses, this study reviews the dynamic processes that govern indoor concentrations and fates of biological particulate material. Bioaerosol behavior is strongly coupled to particle size; this study emphasizes the range 0.1-10 μm in ...

Fast monitoring of indoor bioaerosol concentrations with ATP bioluminescence assay using an electrostatic rod-type sampler. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A culture-based colony counting method is the most widely used analytical technique for monitoring bioaerosols in both indoor and outdoor environments. However, this method requires several days for colony formation.

Bioaerosol Release from Concentrated Microbial Suspensions in Bubbling Processes
Atmosphere, 2022 Bursting bubbles are one of the most common mechanisms in aerosols’ formation from natural and artificial waterbodies. The presence of microbial materials in the liquid could cause their aerosolization and generation of bioaerosols.

Airborne Influenza A Is Detected in the Personal Breathing Zone of Swine Veterinarians. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 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.
