RESUMO
Twenty kinds of disinfectants were examined for ability to inactivate variola virus. Cytopathic effect and plaque formation on monolayer cultures of an established monkey kidney cell line were used as indicators of virus inactivation. A micromethod using microplate cultures, and not requiring a CO2 incubator, was adopted. The procedures were straightforward, showing good reproducibility. Among the compounds tested, several were found to be superior because of the minimum concentrations required for complete inactivation of virus. The purified viruses were shown to be more sensitive to the compounds than were the crude samples. The virus inactivation kinetics curves were determined by plaque counting. The usefulness of this method for quantitative analysis of disinfecting effect is suggested.
