Notes on Temperature and Humidity Viability Data
Table
The presentation of the table is not optimal on github (both github pages and github markdown viewer): there is a slider at the very bottom to scroll. Currently downloading and viewing in the program of choice works better. The file is ‘ ’ separated: replacing ‘ ’ by ‘,’ yields csv-formatting.
Notes on Table Fields
Supplementary data to Virion Viability. The study names correspond to the reference names therein.
Matrix
The matrix is the medium the virions are suspended. Often the Cell Culture Medium is taken since its around to growth the cells anyway and is similar to other physiological fluids (CCM is often calf serum with some additions. Similarly upper respiratory tract fluids are essentially filtrated blood with some additions).
In the table the different culture mediums are abbreviated as follows: CCM = Cell Culture Medium, MM = Minimal Medium (sort of CCM), MEM = Minimal Essential Medium (sort of CCM similar to MM). The exact specifications are given in the summarized references on the virion_viability page but some of the investigations don’t specify the exact composition of the medium used.
Material and Humidity
The material the suspension with the virions was deposited before exposure. An empty field if the virions were kept in the suspension and not exposed to drying (therefore the humidity field is empty too).
