Hierarchy of susceptibility of viruses to environmental surface disinfectants: a predictor of activity against new and emerging viral pathogens

Syed A Sattar. J AOAC Int. 2007 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Proper disinfection is crucial to interrupt the environmental spread of many viruses. In the case of new and emerging viruses still awaiting culture and full characterization, it is proposed that any official recommendations for disinfectant use be based on the well-established hierarchy of susceptibility to such chemicals as related to virus particle size and structure.
