Virus transfer at the skin-liquid interface and its associated risks

Ana Karina Pitol Garcia

Infectious diseases are a leading cause of death across the world. One of the primary causes of infectious diseases are viruses. Since liquids are highly important in the transmission of viruses, the aims of this work are to i) quantify the transfer of vir ...

Broad-spectrum Antiviral Nanoparticles : a morphological CryoEM Study on the Interaction of Nanoparticles and Viruses

Marie Müller

Viral infections affect millions of people every year, yet broad-spectrum virucidal therapies are not available. Antiviral substances in current use act on specific viral mechanisms against only a small number of viruses. Virustatic materials interfere wit ...

Single particle maximum likelihood reconstruction from superresolution microscopy images

Suliana Manley, Julia Gunzenhäuser

Point localization superresolution microscopy enables fluorescently tagged molecules to be imaged beyond the optical diffraction limit, reaching single molecule localization precisions down to a few nanometers. For small objects whose sizes are few times t ...

Viruses at solid-water interfaces: A systematic assessment of interactions driving adsorption

Tamar Kohn, Anne Thérèse Sigstam, Meret Aeppli, Antonius Magdi Hakeem Armanious, Dominik Refardt

Adsorption to solid-water interfaces is a major process governing the fate of waterborne viruses in natural and engineered systems. The relative contributions of different interaction forces to adsorption and their dependence on the physicochemical propert ...

On the cause of the tailing phenomenon during virus disinfection by chlorine dioxide

Tamar Kohn, Qingxia Zhong, Anne Thérèse Sigstam, Moritz Brennecke, Andreas Rohatschek

This study investigates the mechanisms underlying the deviation from Chick-Watson kinetics, namely a tailing curve, during the disinfection of viruses by chlorine dioxide (ClO2). Tailing has been previously reported, but is typically attributed to the deca ...

GuavaH: a compendium of host genomic data in HIV biology and disease

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha, Paul Jack Mc Laren

Background: There is an ever-increasing volume of data on host genes that are modulated during HIV infection, influence disease susceptibility or carry genetic variants that impact HIV infection. We created GuavaH (Genomic Utility for Association and Viral ...

How Viruses Hijack the ERAD Tuning Machinery

Maurizio Molinari, Riccardo Bernasconi

An essential step during the intracellular life cycle of many positive-strand RNA viruses is the rearrangement of host cell membranes to generate membrane-bound replication platforms. For example, Nidovirales and Flaviviridae subvert the membrane of the en ...

Subtle differences in virus composition affect disinfection kinetics and mechanisms

Tamar Kohn, Brian Pecson, Krista Rule Wigginton, Anne Thérèse Sigstam, Michele Cascella

Viral disinfection kinetics have been studied in depth, but the molecular-level inactivation mechanisms are not understood. Consequently, it is difficult to predict the disinfection behavior of non-culturable viruses, even when related, culturable viruses ...

UV radiation induces genome-mediated, site-specific cleavage in viral protein

Tamar Kohn, Yury Tsybin, Laure Menin, Hisham Ben Hamidane, Krista Rule Wigginton, Anne Thérèse Sigstam, Michele Cascella

Much research has been dedicated to understanding the molecular basis of UV damage to biomolecules, yet many questions remain regarding the specific pathways involved. Here we describe a genome-mediated mechanism that causes sitespecific virus protein clea ...

Virus Inactivation by Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Fenton-like Processes

Jessica Ivana Nieto Juarez

Human enteric viruses in water sources cause a great public health risk. Conventional disinfection treatments are not able to completely inactive viruses. However, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently been shown to effectively inactivate patho ...
