About the Cover
Aerosol challenge studies provide important data on disease transmission, infectious dose, vaccine and therapeutic efficacy, and pathology resulting from exposure to infectious agents via the respiratory route. Containment for aerosol challenge experiments requires properly designed and validated equipment, with strict adherence to work practices such as inspection of seals, gaskets, tubing, and other components. Details on the system in this image may be found in this issue in the article entitled "Aerosol Exposure System for Rabbits: Application to M. Tuberculosis Infection" by Liana Tsenova, Ryhor Harbacheuski, Evette Ellison, Claudia Manca, and Gilla Kaplan.
