The Aerobiological Pathway of Microogranisms

By Christopher S. Cox

Provides a background and explanation of the aerobiological pathway and of microbial survival and infectivity. Presents, clearly and simply, the most current information available, giving a clear picture of the aerobiological behavior of micro-organisms. Covers the physical and the biological aspects of aerosol behavior. Explains why microbial aerosols behave as they do rather than just stating the outcome of a situation. Covers viability and infectivity of micro-organisms, and provides a discussion of the role of temperature for aerosol survival and disease transmission by aerosols. Relates these to the biohazards to be found in public health, laboratories, agriculture, microbiology, genetic engineering, industry, environmental studies, and space exploration.
