Studies on Hantaviras Aerosol Transmission in Laboratory and the Field Sampling
Abstract: Aerosol transmission of Hanlavirus was studled by animal experiments in laboratory and air sampling in the field A agrarlus were subcutaneously inoculated hantavirus,breed in the chamber of the upwind and saved as the sources of virus aerosol Sucking mice,weanling mice and A .agrarius were put in the chamber of the downwind after the different days of infected A agrarius were breed Two,chambers were parted by the stainless steel net The results suggested that the seventh day could be the time sign that infected A .agrarius delivered infectious virus aeroso1.The epldemlolng ical in— vestigation of the field suggested that there may have an infectious virus unit at least,in 96L a by threshing machine and 350L air by the nest of A agrarius,respectively.W e believe this study may provide evidence that the aerosol transmission of hantavirus is probably a main route of transmision for hantvlruses in autumn and winter
