Abstract

Noroviruses (previously Norwalk-like viruses) are the most common viral agents associated with food- and waterborne outbreaks of gastroenteritis. In the absence of culture methods for noroviruses, animal caliciviruses were used as model viruses to study inactivation by nonionizing (253.7-nm-wavelength [UV]) and ionizing (gamma) radiation. Here, we studied the respiratory feline calicivirus (FeCV) and the presumed enteric canine calicivirus (CaCV) and compared them with the well-studied bacteriophage MS2. When UV irradiation was used, a 3-log(10) reduction was observed at a fluence of 120 J/m(2) in the FeCV suspension and at a fluence of 200 J/m(2) for CaCV; for the more resistant phage MS2 there was a 3-log(10) reduction at a fluence of 650 J/m(2). Few or no differences were observed between levels of UV inactivation in high- and low-protein-content virus stocks. In contrast, ionizing radiation could readily inactivate MS2 in water, and there was a 3-log(10) reduction at a dose of 100 Gy, although this did not occur when the phage was diluted in high-protein-content stocks of CaCV or FeCV. The low-protein-content stocks showed 3-log(10) reductions at a dose of 500 Gy for FeCV and at a dose of 300 for CaCV. The inactivation rate...Continue Reading
