Surface Composition and Temperature Interact to Shape Viral Survival and Growth

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Environmental surface type and temperature interact synergistically to shape viral survival and reproduction. Using bacteriophages T4 and φX174 on copper, steel and plastic at different temperatures, we demonstrate that survival and reproductive capacity are partially decoupled traits, with copper at 37°C causing rapid viral inactivation while their ...
