As an important route for disease transmission, bioaerosols have received increasing
attention. In the past decades, many efforts were made to facilitate the development of …

Bioaerosols containing pathogenic microorganisms have posed a great threat to human and
animal health. Effective monitoring of bioaerosols containing pathogenic viruses and …

Background Noroviruses are the major cause of viral gastroenteritis. Disease transmission is
difficult to prevent and outbreaks in health-care facilities commonly occur. Contact with …

Airborne pathogens causing infectious diseases are often highly transmittable between
humans. Therefore, an airborne pathogen-monitoring system capable of on-site detection …

Researchers must be able to measure concentrations, sizes, and infectivity of virus-
containing particles in animal agriculture facilities to know how far infectious virus-containing …

Poor air quality is a leading contributor to the global disease burden and total number of
deaths worldwide. Humans spend most of their time in built environments where the majority …

The common practice for monitoring pathogenic bioaerosols is to collect bioaerosols from air
and then detect them, which lacks timeliness and accuracy. In order to improve the detection …

Determination and assessment of airborne fungal particles is complex and results of
different sampling and analytical strategies are hard to compare due to limitations of each of …

We recently developed a new personal electrostatic bioaerosol sampler (PEBS) for
determining exposures to airborne microorganisms. PEBS was shown to collect airborne …

The size of virus-laden particles determines whether aerosol or droplet transmission is
dominant in the airborne transmission of pathogens. Determining dominant transmission …
