A modeling approach to estimate the solar disinfection of viral indicator organisms in waste stabilization ponds and surface waters

Sunlight is known to be a pertinent factor governing the infectivity of waterborne viruses in the environment. Sunlight inactivates viruses via endogenous inactivation (promoted by absorption of UVB sunlight by the virus) and exogenous processes (promoted ...

Isolation and characterization of disinfection-resistant Enteroviruses

Tamar Kohn, Simon Meister, Marius Klinger

Human enteric viruses are a leading cause of waterborne disease outbreak worldwide. Their environmental persistence and resistance to disinfection treatments are two main factors that can influence the dissemination of these viruses, thus increasing the ri ...

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 ...

Role of Temperature and Suwannee River Natural Organic Matter on Inactivation Kinetics of Rotavirus and Bacteriophage MS2 by Solar Irradiation

Tamar Kohn

Although the sunlight mediated inactivation of viruses has been recognized as an important process that controls surface water quality, the mechanisms of virus inactivation by sunlight are not yet clearly understood. We investigated the synergistic role of ...

Homology-based identification of capsid determinants that protect HIV1 from human TRIM5α restriction

Didier Trono, Olivier Michielin, Pierre Maillard

The tropism of retroviruses relies on their ability to exploit cellular factors for their replication as well as to avoid host-encoded inhibitory activities such as TRIM5α. N-tropic murine leukemia virus is sensitive to human TRIM5α (huTRIM5α) restriction, ...

Genome-wide mRNA expression correlates of viral control in CD4+ T-cells from HIV-1-infected individuals

Jacques Fellay, Patrick Descombes, Amalio Telenti

There is great interindividual variability in HIV-1 viral setpoint after seroconversion, some of which is known to be due to genetic differences among infected individuals. Here, our focus is on determining, genome-wide, the contribution of variable gene e ...

Decentralized Polling with Respectable Participants

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Maxime Monod

We consider the polling problem in a social network where participants care about their reputation: they do not want their vote to be disclosed nor their misbehaving, if any, to be publicly exposed. Assuming this reputation concern, we show that a simple s ...

Synthesis and characterisation of some water soluble ruthenium(II)-arene complexes and an investigation of their antibiotic and antiviral properties

Paul Joseph Dyson, Claire Samantha Allardyce

The water soluble ruthenium-p-cymene complexes Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)X-2 (X = Cl, Br, I or NCS), [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)X-2(pta)] (X=Cl, Br, I, or NCS; pta=1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1]decane) and the tetraruthenium cluster [H4Ru4(eta(6)-p-benzene ...

Prediction of the disinfection and oxidation efficiency of full-scale ozone reactors

Urs von Gunten

The efficiency of a two-step ozonation with regard to disinfection and oxidation of micropollutants; was assessed for a river-water treatment plant (Limmat River, Zurich, Switzerland). The assessment was based on laboratory experiments to estimate transien ...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 matrix protein interacts with cellular protein HO3

Didier Trono

The matrix (MA) protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) plays a critical role in virion morphogenesis and fulfills important functions during the early steps of infection. In an effort to identify cellular partners of MA, a Saccharomyces cer ...
