Airborne transmission is of significance for a number of infectious diseases in pigs. The general principles of the airborne pathway, including aerosol production, decay and inhalation, are reviewed. Practical issues regarding aerosol sampling and sample analysis are also discussed. Details of the aerobiology of porcine diseases, including foot-and-mouth disease, Aujesky's disease, and respiratory diseases, are explained. Some additional, potentially airborne diseases are discussed in terms of…

Aerosol Detection and Transmission of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV): What Is the Evidence, and What Are the Knowledge Gaps?
TLDR
The current knowledge is reviewed and knowledge gaps related to PRRSV airborne transmission are identified and information is identified on mechanisms by which pathogens have been introduced into populations.
Detection and quantification of classical swine fever virus in air samples originating from infected pigs and experimentally produced aerosols.
Foot-and-mouth disease - quantification and size distribution of airborne particles emitted by healthy and infected pigs.
Transmission of classical swine fever. A review
TLDR
Empirical as well as experimental data indicate that airborne spread over short distances is probable and the role of arthropods, birds, rodents, and other animals in the spread of CSF virus remains doubtful.
Quantification of classical swine fever virus in aerosols originating from pigs infected with strains of high, moderate or low virulence.
Aerosol Transmission of Filoviruses
TLDR
This review deals with the controversial issue of aerosol transmission of filoviruses, which is believed to be the source of ebolaviruses for human index case(s) in most outbreaks.
A review of some aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and control of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infections
TLDR
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, one of the most important swine pathogens, is distributed world wide and it is possible to produce MH-negative pigs from infected herds and to eradicate the organism without total depopulation.
Evaluation of the aerosol transmission of a mixed infection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
To evaluate the transmission of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) by aerosol as either a single or mixed infection, 28 pigs were inoculated…
Aerodynamic Approaches for Estimation of Waste Disease Spread in Pig Farm through Airborne Contaminants
Pig chronic wasting disease, including porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) and postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), have made a continuous economic damage in pig farms.…
Indirect transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza in chickens
TLDR
Airborne transmission is a causal pathway of HPAI virus transmission between poultry flocks, and that dust may act as a mechanical vector of the virus.

TLDR
This overview seeks to highlight factors favoring and promoting survival of viruses in air and to summarize three viral diseases to illustrate the magnitude of losses resulting from major viral disease epidemics in the poultry and livestock industry.
Infection of pigs by aerosols of Aujeszky's disease virus and their shedding of the virus.
Aerosol studies with avian mycoplasma. I. Survival in the air.
TLDR
This study was made to determine whether Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. meleagridis could be recovered, and for what period, from artificially created areosols.
Modelling the spread of foot-and-mouth disease virus.
TLDR
E Epidemiological data linked to viral particle excretion can be used in a predictive model, added to meteorological data related to the few days before the slaughter of animals, to define a risk area and give arguments for the best sanitary decision within the emergency plan.
Experimental infection of pigs with the porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV): measure of viral excretion
Infection of cattle by airborne foot-and-mouth disease virus: minimal doses with O1 and SAT 2 strains.
The airborne excretion by pigs of swine vesicular disease virus.
TLDR
The amounts of virus recovered were about 160-fold less than those recovered from pigs affected with foot-and-mouth disease, and the quantity and time of excretion suggest that the source of swine vesicular disease virus in the aerosol may be from the lesions and skin rather than from the respiratory tract.

Aerosol infection of calves and mice with Salmonella typhimurium
TLDR
The consequences for the control of salmonellosis in intensive calf husbandry are discussed in the light of this demonstration that airborne transmission can be a primary mode of infection of S typhimurium.
A Porcine Aerosol Infection Model for Studying Dose Dependent Effects Caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Bacteria
TLDR
