Aa. Chepurnov et al., METHODS FOR CONTROLLING THE CONTAMINATION OF THE LABORATORY ENVIRONMENT WITH AGENTS OF SOME HIGHLY HAZARDOUS VIRAL-INFECTIONS, Voprosy virusologii, 42(4), 1997, pp. 189-191
Regular check-ups of the laboratory environment (air and working surfa
ces) for contamination with the objects of investigations are obligato
ry for laboratories working with viruses causing grave diseases, such
as Ebola, Marburg, and Machupo fevers and Venezuelan equine encephalom
yelitis. Methods for indication and identification of these agents hav
e been developed and experimentally tried.
