Effect of ultrasound with methylene blue as sound sensitive agent on virus inactivation
Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices, 2023 The goal of this paper is to explore a method for virus inactivation based on ultrasonic treatment, and on this basis, to explore the synergistic effect of methylene blue as a sonosensitizer in virus inactivation.

Binding, recovery, and infectiousness of enveloped and non-enveloped viruses associated with plastic pollution in surface water [PDF]
, 2022 Microplastics in wastewater and surface water rapidly become colonised by microbial biofilm. Such ‘plastisphere’ communities are hypothesised to persist longer and be disseminated further in the environment and may act as a vector for human pathogens ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Ebola virus (EBOV) causes a hemorrhagic fever with fatality rates up to 90%. The EBOV entry process is complex and incompletely understood. Following attachment to host cells, EBOV is trafficked to late endosomes/lysosomes where its glycoprotein (GP) is ...

Promising Nanostructured Materials against Enveloped Virus [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 The development of self-disinfectant devices is highly needed to prevent and control infections, mainly caused by virus. In the past years, coronaviruses have been a threat to humanity, causing severe epidemics of respiratory infections such as severe ...

Isolation of the envelope of vesicular stomatitis virus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1978 Vesicular stomatitis virus was disrupted by a combination of freezing and thawing, osmotic shock, and sonic treatment. Subviral components were separated by isopycnic centrifugation. The low-density, lipid-rich fractions were pooled and shown to contain primarily viral glycoprotein.

Some Observations on the Envelope of an Influenza Virus [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1967 SUMMARY: Micrographs of the envelope of fowl-plague virus revealed an arrangement of subunits each one of which was surrounded by either five or six others. The similarity of this arrangement to that of a cubic virus capsid has led us to consider which components of morphologically different viruses fulfil similar functions.

Models of Structure of the Envelope of Influenza Virus [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1970 Possible models of the structure of the influenza virus envelope are considered in terms of the known chemical composition. Models incorporating lipid in the form of a bimolecular leaflet are shown to be unlikely on geometrical grounds. A model having „inverted toadstool” protein units separated by spherical lipid micelles is favored, and is capable of
