Effect of Relative Humidity on Experimental Transmission of Sendai Virus in Mice
Summary The effect of relative humidity on airborne transmission of Sendai virus infection in mice was studied. Greater rates of transmission were observed at higher RH than at a lower one. The rate of transmission was reduced by increased ventilation. A viral strain recovered after serial airborne...

| Zusammenfassung: | Summary
The effect of relative humidity on airborne transmission of Sendai virus infection in mice was studied. Greater rates of transmission were observed at higher RH than at a lower one. The rate of transmission was reduced by increased ventilation. A viral strain recovered after serial airborne transmissions showed no evidence of increased transmissibility. |
