RESPIRATORY EXPOSURE OF ANIMALS TO MICROORGANISMS WITH THE HENDERSON APPARATUS

Abstract

The Henderson Apparatus has been in use for many years for the study of infectious disease transmission by the respiratory route. It is a simple, inexpensive apparatus for exposure of small animals to dynamic aerosols. This report presents detailed information concerning necessary equipment and techniques for conducting this type of experiment in a safe manner. References are made to commercial sources of equipment where these are pertinent.
