Issue Date: | 2021 | Journal: | SCIENTIFIC REPORTS | Number: | 11 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | The potential virucidal effects of UV-C irradiation on SARS-CoV-2 were experimentally evaluated for different illumination doses and virus concentrations (1000, 5, 0.05 MOI). At a virus density comparable to that observed in SARS-CoV-2 infection, an UV-C dose of just 3.7 mJ/cm2 was sufficient to achieve a more than 3-log inactivation without any sign of viral replication. Moreover, a complete inactivation at all viral concentrations was observed with 16.9 mJ/cm2. These results could explain the epidemiological trends of COVID-19 and are important for the development of novel sterilizing methods to contain SARS-CoV-2 infection. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/34084 | URL: | https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-85425-w https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85102734901 |
