title: Thermal-pH inactivation of herpes simplex virus: interdependence of the medium composition and the pH on the rate of virus inactivation. Brief report.
abstract: The composition and pH of the suspending medium were shown to be interdependent effectors of the in vitro thermal inactivation of herpes simplex virus (HSV). In addition, enhanced thermal sensitivity of HSV at alkaline pH was a medium dependent effect and, therefore, is not an inherent property of the virus.
