Dear virologist :
Is it possible that insect like mosquto, sand fly or any other insects
transmit
HIV virus from one person to other? and how long HIV can survive in different
insects ? what about aerosols, from HIV positive person to others ?
and about this Hot ZON , It is very unusual to mee that an Expert in Level
4 biohazard for checking contamination of cell culture tries to check the
smell of the culture by opening the top ??? in biohazard lab to see if ther
is any bacteriial contamination like pseudomonas ???? I thought they are
using Antibiotics for preventing growth of bacteria ???? but even this hapens
sample from ebola infected monky ???? openng the top of culture and check
it by nose ????? My god !!!! how can they do that ??? Cant just they culture
from that tube to bacterial culture medium or just check it by microscope
for contamination??
Just asking
More information about the Virology
