Influenza A viruses are able to adapt to restrictive conditions due to their high mutation rates. Importin-alpha 7 is a component of the nuclear import machinery required for avian-mammalian adaptation and replicative fitness in human cells. Here, we eluci ...

The susceptibility of waterborne viruses to disinfection is known to vary between viruses and even between closely related strains, yet the extent of this variation is not known. Here, different enteroviruses (six strains of coxsackievirus B5, two strains ...

Infectious diseases caused by waterborne viruses contribute to the global disease burden. An effective barrier to prevent the discharge of waterborne viruses is a disinfection step, yet disinfection is not always efficient at inactivating viruses. This the ...

Cross-resistance of UV- or chlorine dioxide-resistant echovirus 11 to other disinfectants

Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Virginie Bachmann, Qingxia Zhong, Rachele Ossola

The emergence of waterborne viruses with resistance to disinfection has been demonstrated in the laboratory and in the environment. Yet, the implications of such resistance for virus control remain obscure. In this study we investigate if viruses with resi ...

Multi-resistance of human enterovirus to UV-C disinfection and mutagenic nucleoside analogs

Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Virginie Bachmann, Qingxia Zhong

Disinfection is an important strategy to control the environmental transmission of human viruses. Specifically, UV254 is increasingly used to disinfect from clinical items or surfaces to drinking water. RNA virus populations have high mutation rates and la ...
