We investigated the potential for photoreactivation to restore infectivity to sunlight-damaged
natural viral communities in offshore (chlorophyll a,< 0.1 microgram liter-1), coastal …

Using a highly specific radioimmunoassay, the sunlight-induced formation of cyclobutane
pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts ([6-4] PPs) in viral …

The proportion of viruses in natural marine communities that are potentially infectious was
inferred from the relationship between DNA damage and the loss of infectivity in marine viral …

We investigated the in situ destruction rates of marine viral particles as well as the decay
rates of infectivity for viral isolates along an~ 400‐km transect from oligotrophic offshore …

UV radiation induced DNA damage (inferred from cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, CPDs) in
native marine virus communities was examined at 12 locations along a latitudinal transect …

A key issue in the ecology of viruses in the marine environment is the rate of viral production
and decay. The ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight has been found to cause loss of …

Sunlight inactivation of poliovirus type 3 (PV3), adenovirus type 2 (HAdV2), and two
bacteriophage (MS2 and PRD1) was investigated in an array of coastal waters to better …

The UV inactivation kinetics of bacteriophages MS2, PhiX174, T1 and PRD1 and the
potential of bacterial UV repair mechanisms to reactivate these bacteriophages is described …

Recent evidence suggests that viruses play an influential role within the marine microbial
food web. To understand this role, it is important to determine rates and mechanisms of virus …

UVA and UVB can be applied to solar disinfection of water. In this study, the inactivation and
photoreactivation of viruses and bacteria in the UVA-B range were analyzed. MS2 and T4 …
