Engineering control of airborne disease transmission in animal laboratories.

چکیده
We here present a review of the problem of controlling airborne disease transmission in animal research facilities, with emphasis on engineering design and air-treatment technologies. Dilution ventilation, pressurization control, source control, and air disinfection and removal systems are reviewed, and analytical studies on the effects of dilution ventilation, filtration, and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation are summarized. In addition, we discuss practical problems common to laboratory facilities and present a database of potential airborne pathogens and allergens that can be transmitted between humans and animals. We offer some conclusions regarding the design and selection of available technologies and components and provide cost estimates for various air-cleaning systems.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP): a new approach for the detection of foot-and-mouth disease virus and its sero-types in Pakistan
Successful disease management requires a rapid and sensitive diagnosis method that can recognize early infection even before the manifestation of its clinical signs. The only available field diagnostic tests for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) are lateral flow devices, commonly known as chromatographic strips. Low sensitivity and inability to detect FMD virus (FMDV) at the serotype level are limit...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis of a stochastic simulation model for foot and mouth disease
A spatial and temporal Monte-Carlo simulation model was developed to analyse the epidemiology and control of foot and mouth disease (FMD). Animal, people and vehicle contacts as well as airborne and local spread represented the FMD virus transmission between farms housing cattle, pigs or sheep. Contacts were explicitly modelled by routes, airborne transmission by the Gaussian Dispersion model a...

T his literature review explores the role that ventilation, assessed by air changes per hour (ACH), plays in infection transmission and disease control. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Position Document on Airborne Infectious Diseases (2009) notes the dilution effect that ACH has on infectious disease transmission. The Wells-Riley equation...
متن کاملModelling the Epidemiology and Control of Foot and Mouth Disease with Special Emphasis on Airborne Spread
A spatial and temporal Monte-Carlo simulation model was developed to analyse the epidemiology and control of foot and mouth disease. The foot and mouth disease virus could be transmitted by direct animal-to-animal contact, indirect contacts with the bulk milk tanker, veterinarian and animal feed vehicles, via the air and locally. The transport of animals was modelled by contract selling or rand...
متن کاملFoodborne Listeriosis
Foodborne listeriosis is a rare and very dangerous disease which is caused by Listeria monocytogenes. This bacterium is found in the nature in very high population, but can cause disease only in certain groups of people. Listeriosis usually happens after consumption of unpasteurized dairy products especially soft and unripe cheeses and ready to eat meat products like hot dog by susceptible peop...
