Enteroviruses are common agents of infectious disease that are spread by the fecal-oral route. They are readily inactivated by mild heat, which causes the viral capsid to disintegrate or undergo conformational change. While beneficial for the thermal treatment of food or water, this heat sensitivity poses challenges for the stability of enterovirus vaccines. The thermostability of an enterovirus can be modulated by the composition of the suspending matrix, though the effects of the matrix on vir ...[more]
