Thermal inactivation studies with variola virus.
In recent years, considerable interest has been manifested in the thermal inactivation of animal viruses (Friedman and De Berry, 1959; LehmannGrube and Syverton, 1959; Youngner, 1957; Woese, 1960). Apart from the practical aspects, studies of the temperature sensitivity of virus particles offer a natural step in the analysis of their physicochemical properties (Gard and Maal0e, 1959) and, as su...
متن کاملThermal inactivation of bovine immunodeficiency virus.
Cell-associated bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) and cell-free BIV were subjected to increasing temperatures, including pasteurization conditions. To determine the effect of heat treatment on BIV viability, reverse transcriptase activity and infectivity of the heat-treated virus were assessed. BIV was inactivated by heating to 47 degrees C for 30 min and by low- and high-temperature pasteuri...
متن کاملStudies of the Suitability of Fowlpox as a Decontamination and Thermal Stability Simulant for Variola Major
Variola major, the causative agent of smallpox, has been eradicated from nature. However, stocks still exist; thus, there is a need for relevant decontamination studies, preferably with nonpathogenic simulants. Previous studies have shown a similarity in response of vaccinia virus and variola major to various decontaminants and thermal inactivation. This study compared vaccinia and fowlpox viru...
متن کاملSmallpox eradication. Destruction of variola virus stocks.
1. The global eradication of smallpox was confirmed in 1980 (resolution WHA33.3). From 1981 to 1986, WHO undertook a programme to implement the post-eradication policies contained in the 1979 report of the Global Commission for the Certification of Smallpox Eradication and endorsed by the Health Assembly in resolution WHA33.4. Progress was reviewed year by year from 1981 to 1984 by the WHO Comm...
متن کاملStudies on the Inactivation of Influenza Virus
Infection of susceptible host tissue with influenza virus appears to be dependent upon several factors. In part, these are related to the host cell or receptor, to the chemical environment of the cell-virus reaction, and to the integrity of the virus particle itself. Modification of infectivity may be achieved by altering any one of these factors in such a manner that the virus particle is prev...
