| characterizing bacteriophage pr772 as a potential surrogate for adenovirus in water disinfection: a comparative analysis of inactivation kinetics and replication cycle inhibition by free chlorine. | elucidating mechanisms by which pathogenic waterborne viruses become inactivated by drinking water disinfectants would facilitate the development of sensors to detect infectious viruses and novel disinfection strategies to provide safe water. using bacteriophages as surrogates for human pathogenic viruses could assist in elucidating these mechanisms; however, an appropriate viral surrogate for human adenovirus (hadv), a medium-sized virus with a double-stranded dna genome, needs to be identified ... | 2016 | 26820824 |
| basic oxygen furnace slag as a treatment material for pathogens: contribution of inactivation and attachment in virus attenuation. | basic oxygen furnace (bof) slag media were studied as a potential treatment material in on-site sanitation systems. batch and column studies were conducted to evaluate attenuation of the bacteriophage pr772 and 0.190 microm diameter microspheres by bof media, and to delineate the relative contributions of two principle processes of virus attenuation: inactivation and attachment. in the batch studies, conducted at 4 degrees c, substantial inactivation of pr772 did not occur in the ph 7.6 and 9.5 ... | 2010 | 20018338 |
