Viral infections kill millions yearly. Available antiviral drugs are virus-specific and active
against a limited panel of human pathogens. There are broad-spectrum substances that …

Viral infections kill millions of people and new antivirals are needed. Nontoxic drugs that
irreversibly inhibit viruses (virucidal) are postulated to be ideal. Unfortunately, all virucidal …

N, N-Dodecyl, methyl-polyethylenimine coatings applied to solid surfaces have been shown
by us to disinfect aqueous solutions of influenza viruses. Herein we elucidate the …

Background Use of hand sanitizers has become a cornerstone in clinical practice for the
prevention of disease transmission between practitioners and patients. Traditionally, these …

After 11 consecutive months of control, the Mekong Delta in Viet Nam experienced a wave of
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 outbreaks on small holder poultry farms …

Background In the event of an influenza pandemic, the majority of people infected will be
nursed at home. It is therefore important to determine simple methods for limiting the spread …

Newcastle disease virus (NDV), also known as Avian Paramyxovirus serotype I (APMV-1) is

This study evaluated the effectiveness of bleach, Surface Decontamination Foam (SDF), and
Virkon® in inactivating infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) and Newcastle disease virus …

In this paper, we review the efficacy data for low and high pH inactivation of viruses in
solutions (ie, liquid inactivation) and discuss the mechanisms of action and the impact of …

Fusion inhibitors inhibit binding/fusion of the virus to the host cell, and thus prevent
noninfected cells from infection. They target either viral surface proteins (enfuvirtide) or cell …
