This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of Adenoviruses and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. Previous work showing UV "resistance" was based
on:
LP UV-monochromatic at 253.7 nm; and,
cell culture infectivity.
This work was based on:
LP and MP (polychromatic) UV;
newer UV technologies, extragenomic damage;
QPCR; and,
molecular method, direct assessment of damage. Structure of Adenoviruses, infectious cycle of Adenovirus, and QPCR Assay for DNA Damage are presented. Presentation conclusions indicate the following: direct, molecular-based assay does help
clarify effects of UV on adenovirus;
DNA damage was the same in both LP and MP;
LP UV damage likely gets repaired,
allowing successful infection; and,
MP UV causes other damage or interferes
with repair. Includes figures.
