20.500.12556/DiRROS-19318 Hydrodynamic cavitation efficiently inactivates potato virus Y in water Waterborne plant viruses can destroy entire crops, leading not only to high financial losses but also to food shortages. Potato virus Y (PVY) is the most important potato viral pathogen that can also affect other valuable crops. Recently, it has been confirmed that this virus is capable of infecting host plants via water, emphasizing the relevance of using proper strategies to treat recycled water in order to prevent the spread of the infectious agents. Emerging environmentally friendly methods such as hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) provide a great alternative for treating recycled water used for irrigation. In the experiments conducted in this study, laboratory HC based on Venturi constriction with a sample volume of 1 L was used to treat water samples spiked with purified PVY virions. The ability of the virus to infect plants was abolished after 500 HC passes, corresponding to 50 min of treatment under pressure difference of 7 bar. In some cases, shorter treatments of 125 or 250 passes were also sufficient for virus inactivation. The HC treatment disrupted the integrity of viral particles, which also led to a minor damage of viral RNA. Reactive species, including singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radicals, and hydrogen peroxide, were not primarily responsible for PVY inactivation during HC treatment, suggesting that mechanical effects are likely the driving force of virus inactivation. This pioneering study, the first to investigate eukaryotic virus inactivation by HC, will inspire additional research in this field enabling further improvement of HC as a water decontamination technology. hydrodynamic cavitation potato virus Y virus inactivation water decontamination hidrodinamska kavitacija Y virus inaktivacija virusov čiščenje vode true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-07-16 03:41:34 2024-07-16 04:59:47 2024-07-17 03:59:11 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Soavtorji:Tadeja Lukežič, Katarina Bačnik, Maja Ravnikar, Meta Ješelnik, Tamara Košir, Martin Petkovšek, Mojca Zupanc, Matevž Dular, Ion Gutierrez Aguirre; Številka članka: 105898; str.
