How can you use “virucidal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Smallpox, while not found in the world's population at present, remains a potential health hazard especially due to the possibility of its use as a bioweapon [ 1 2 3 4 5 ] . There is currently no accepted treatment for smallpox, although a number of agents have been evaluated [ 6 ] . Therefore, new therapeutic or virucidal agents could have great utility in slowing both the progression and spread of the disease in an epidemic situation.
For the selection of the most promising candidate microbicides, it is important to compare not only their virus inhibitory and virucidal activities, but to also study their potential untoward effects.
For this reason it was of interest to study the virucidal activity of anionic polymeric microbicide candidates against both X4 (using CXCR4 as coreceptor) and R5 (using CCR5 as coreceptor) viruses, the latter being most frequently transmitted sexually [ 39 ] .
To measure the virucidal activity of CAP/sCD4 combinations, treated and untreated purified HIV-1 IIIB (3.
To avoid this, CAP in micronized form (which does not aggregate at low pH), instead of CAP in soluble form is being considered as a topical microbicide [ 30 31 32 33 34 35 ] . Micronized CAP (Aquateric) was shown to be virucidal against HIV-1, herpesviruses and several nonviral sexually transmitted disease (STD) pathogens [ 30 31 32 33 34 ] . The virucidal activity of micronized CAP could at least partly be explained by its buffering capacity at low pH [ 40 ] since it is a free acid while other anionic polymeric microbicide candidates (except BufferGel, the active ingredient of which is Carbomer 974P [ 27 ] ) are sodium salts.
