The intensification of poultry production has heightened concern over aerosolized microbial pathogens that traverse barn microclimates, ventilation systems, ...

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers assessed the association between indoor air respiratory pathogens and natural ventilation, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, and air ...

A new study in the journal Nature Communications analyzes pathogen, host, environmental, and behavioral factors that were associated with a higher respiratory pathogen load in indoor ambient air.

These results suggest that efficiency of pathogen transmission depends on where deposition occurs and the timing and place of acquisition, which varies among plant species and environmental conditions ...
