Influence of Amino Acid Substitutions in Capsid Proteins of Coxsackievirus B5 on Free Chlorine and Thermal Inactivation
Tamar Kohn, Aleksandar Antanasijevic, Kiruthika Kumar, Shotaro Torii
The sensitivity of enteroviruses to disinfectants varies among genetically similar variants and coincides with amino acid changes in capsid proteins, although the effect of individual substitutions remains unknown. Here, we employed reverse genetics to inv ...
2024Observed Kinetics of Enterovirus Inactivation by Free Chlorine Are Host Cell-Dependent
Tamar Kohn, Shannon Christa David, Shotaro Torii, Federica Cariti
Virucidal efficacies of disinfectants are typically assessed by infectivity assay utilizing a single type of host cell. Enteroviruses infect multiple host cells via various entry routes, and each entry route may be impaired differently by a given disinfect ...
2023Surfactant Treatment for Efficient Gene Detection of Enteric Viruses and Indicators in Surface Water Concentrated by Ultrafiltration
The hollow fiber ultrafiltration (HFUF)-based microbial concentration method is widely applied for monitoring pathogenic viruses and microbial indicators in environmental water samples. However, the HFUF-based method can co-concentrate substances that inte ...
SPRINGER2023Selective elimination of enterovirus genotypes by activated sludge and chlorination
Enteroviruses, which are commonly circulating viruses shed in the stool, are released into the sewage system and only partially removed or inactivated, resulting in the discharge of infectious enteroviruses into the environment. Activated sludge and chlori ...
2023Susceptibility of enveloped and non-enveloped viruses to ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV-LED) irradiation and implications for virus inactivation mechanisms
Ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs), a disinfection technology, efficiently inactivate pathogens in water. However, the assessment of UV-LED treatment and the mechanisms of UV inactivation on viruses (especially enveloped viruses) are limited. ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2023Inactivation of coxsackievirus B5 by free chlorine under conditions relevant to drinking water treatment
Chlorine disinfection is commonly applied to inactivate pathogenic viruses in drinking water treatment plants. However, the role of water quality in chlorine disinfection of viruses has not been investigated thoughtfully. In this study, we investigated the ...
IWA PUBLISHING2023Observed Kinetics of Enterovirus Inactivation by Disinfectants Differ among the Host Cells Used for Enumeration
Tamar Kohn, Shannon Christa David, Shotaro Torii, Odile Marie Clotilde Hervás de Nalda-Larivé, Federica Cariti
The virus inactivation efficacy of disinfectants is typically assessed by infectivity assay utilizing a single type of host cell. Enteroviruses infect multiple host cells via different entry routes, and each entry route may be impaired differently by a giv ...
2023Genotype-Dependent Kinetics of Enterovirus Inactivation by Free Chlorine and Ultraviolet (UV) Irradiation
Inactivation kinetics of enterovirus by disinfection is often studied using a single laboratory strain of a given genotype. Environmental variants of enterovirus are genetically distinct from the corresponding laboratory strain, yet it is poorly understood ...
