The effect of relative humidity (RH) and temperature on the survival of airborne bovine rotavirus UK isolate (BRV-UK) and a murine rotavirus (MRV) was studied. In any one experiment, the virus under test was suspended in tryptose phosphate broth (TPB) supplemented with uranine (physical tracer) and an antifoam, was aerosolized using a Collison nebulizer into the rotating drum with the RH at either low (30 +/- 5%), medium (50 + 5%) or high (80 +/- 5%) level at 20 +/- 1 degrees C. Following a 15-min period of viral aerosol stabilization, sequential samples of drum air were collected using an All-Glass Impinger (AGI) for 24 h post-aerosolization. Both of the rotavirus isolates were found to survive best at medium RH level and high RH was found least favorable for the survival of these aerosolized rotaviruses. The survival pattern of aerosolized MRV was found to be the best when compared with survival pattern of all animal and human rotavirus isolates studies performed under aerosolized conditions in our laboratory. The findings of these experiments confirm and extend our previous reports on the survival of other animal and human aerosolized rotaviruses and emphasize the fact that air may be one of the vehicles for their dissemination and could explain why it is difficult to control nosocomial outbreaks of rotavirus gastroenteritis and to keep animal colonies rotavirus-free.

Studies on the survival of aerosolized bovine rotavirus (UK) and a murine rotavirus.

Fifteen out of 24 risk neonates from the premature baby ward (= 63%) and 36 of 79 healthy neonates from the infant nursery (= 46%) at a Zurich hospital were infected within a period of 29 days during a nosocomial epidemic human rotavirus (HRV) outbreak. Forty-two out of 51 of all HRV-infected babies (=82%) manifested clinical symptoms, but these could not all be attributed to an HRV infection. On average, rotavirus could be detected in infected risk neonates five days after their admission to the premature baby ward. Eleven of the 15 risk neonates were infected within 10 days after the admission of the index case. Immediately after detection of the epidemic process, specific detailed countermeasures were instituted, including hand protection and hand disinfection, individual nursing set and cohorting of already infected babies. Early institution of such measures and information of all persons responsible for treatment and care of the babies concerned are crucial for success.
