Hypothesis-generating for FMDV aerosol control in lab settings; leaves open translation to field or clinical use.

Structured PICO

Population

Aerosols generated from suspensions of the virus of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD)

Intervention

Single and multi-jet liquid impingers and membrane-filters; concentration with Attaclay; elution with sodium dodecyl sulphate; various air filtration media (glass fibre paper)

Outcome

Efficiency of sampling devices and virus penetration through aerosol filterssurrogate

Glass fibre paper is highly efficient for filtering foot-and-mouth disease virus aerosols, with penetration less than 0.001%.
