Archaeal characterization of bioaerosols from cage-housed and floor-housed poultry operations.

Abstract excerpt

Although bioaerosols from both cage-housed (CH) and floor-housed (FH) poultry operations are highly concentrated, the concentrations of dust, endotoxin, and bacteria are significantly higher in FH bioaerosols. Workers from CH operations have reported a greater prevalence of respiratory symptoms. To date, archaea have been examined in swine and dairy bioaerosols but not in poultry bioaerosols.
