Thesis (MScAgric)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The evaluation of fungicide efficacy in commercial vineyards can be influenced by the sporadic occurrence of Botrytis cinerea at various positions on vines, differences in bunch structure during bunch development and the phenomenon that symptom expression in shoots and bunches is governed by the resistance reaction of the various shoot and bunch parts. It has been postulated that, following air and water dispersal, infection by solitary conidia should playa prominent role in the epidemiology of B. cinerea on grapev

Abstract:

Apple scab is the most important disease of apples in most of the world. The disease, caused by Venturia inaequalis, is controlled by numerous fungicide applications, regardless of the presence of inoculum in the orchard. Better timing of fungicide applications could be achieved if the airborne ascospore concentration (AAC) was considered in decision making. AAC can be measured in real time using spore traps. In this project, the relationship between AAC and lesions development was studied under controlled and natural conditions for five cultivars: Empire, McIntosh, Jonagold, Royal Gala, and S

Abstract:

A mathematical model which estimates spatial infection risk as a function of pulmonary rate and deposition region has been developed based on the does-response model. It is specifically designed for enclosed space with consideration of pathogen bio-properties, such as viability and infectivity. Firstly, eleven cases of Tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks in aircraft are studied to develop the optimal parameters set. It is then used to perform model validation and investigation of sample inpatient room spatial infection risk. Secondly, infection risk for eleven TB outbreaks are compared with modeling

Thomas, Matthew K. "Airborne Disease Transmission via Bioaerosols: Formation Mechanisms and the Influence of Viscoelasticity." Thesis, Harvard University, 2012. http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:10679.

Full text

Abstract:

Airborne disease transmission is a prominent problem facing an increasingly mobilized world. It involves small droplets (bioaerosols) containing pathogens which form in the lungs and are expelled to the environment, where they may persist in the air until inhaled by others. Conceptually, there are two basic approaches to preventing transmission: protect the potential target, or eliminate the source. To this end, the effectiveness of modifying mucus viscoelasticity, through cation exposure, to prevent pathogen transport via bioaerosols was investigated. In vitro models were developed to explore

Abstract:

Introduction Increased levels of particulate matter air pollution (PM) have been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, especially in elderly adults and in people suffering from cardiovascular or lung diseases. The mechanisms behind these effects are still unknown, although some hypothesis have been postulated that include a modification of autonomic regulation of heart rhythm and the induction of arrhythmic events. Which fraction of PM is the most harmful is still controversial, and few studies investigated the role of personal exposure to different fractions, and

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to examine applications of thermal and laser-based methods to monitor airborne particulates in underground coal mines. Specifically, coal and mixed mineral mine dust, as well as, diesel particulate matter (DPM). These particulates have historically, and continue to have, significant health impacts on underground miners. Chapters 1 and 2 of this thesis concentrate on using a novel method of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to characterize respirable coal and mixed mineral mine dust and presents the results of this method being applied to samples collected in Appala

Abstract:

Rhodococcus equi causes severe pneumonia, resulting in disease and sometimes death of foals. Infection is thought to occur by inhalation of dust contaminated with virulent R equi. A recent study of 3 horse breeding farms in Ireland found airborne concentrations of virulent R equi to be significantly higher in stables than in paddocks. More importantly, another study from Australia established an association of airborne concentrations of virulent R equi with the prevalence of R equi pneumonia at 28 farms. The extent to which these associations extend to other farms in different parts of the wor

The duration of people’s indoor activity is beyond 90% of all day. The outbreak of airborne infection will occur if infectors stay in indoor space. In order to predict the risk of airborne infection disease, epidemiology scholars have established infection numerical model to assess the risk of airborne infections.

Abstract:

This thesis is an investigation of detecting and quantifying airborne inoculum of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary to improve the Sclerotinia rot of carrot (SRC) forecast model. A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay was developed to specifically detect and quantify DNA from airborne ascospores of S. sclerotiorum. The qPCR assay was evaluated on air samples collected using a Burkard Sampler, and showed that ascospores of S. sclerotiorum were specifically detected among a pool of foreign DNA. The concentration of detected ascospores was related to the observed incidence of
