PathoSift Pro: A novel size-based bioaerosol sampler for effectively detecting infectious airborne influenza virus
Understanding the dynamics of airborne virus transmission requires precise tools for collecting and analyzing infectious aerosols. We present PathoSift Pro, a novel bioaerosol sampler engineered to efficiently collect and preserve viable airborne pathogens. Operating at a flow rate of 25 L/min, PathoSift Pro minimizes dehydration and re-aerosolization, overcoming the limitations of conventional samplers like the Andersen impactor. Using H1N1 influenza A virus as a model, our study demonstrated that PathoSift Pro effectively captured size distributions of virus-laden particles in simulated settings and maintained 74.76 % more viable viruses than the Andersen impactor. To further evaluate its field applicability, we tested PathoSift Pro through experiments using a pig model. Results showed that pigs exhibited aerosol size distributions similar to humans, with viable viruses detected in both aerosol (≤5 μm) and droplet (>5 μm) particles, supporting pigs as a translational model for influenza transmission studies. In summary, PathoSift Pro provides an effective tool for advancing research on airborne pathogens and elucidating airborne transmission dynamics.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1955, Virology is a broad and inclusive journal that welcomes submissions on all aspects of virology including plant, animal, microbial and human viruses. The journal publishes basic research as well as pre-clinical and clinical studies of vaccines, anti-viral drugs and their development, anti-viral therapies, and computational studies of virus infections. Any submission that is of broad interest to the community of virologists/vaccinologists and reporting scientifically accurate and valuable research will be considered for publication, including negative findings and multidisciplinary work.Virology is open to reviews, research manuscripts, short communication, registered reports as well as follow-up manuscripts.
