Data on Norovirus Described by Researchers at University of Massachusetts (Evaluating the Potential of Ozone Microbubbles for Inactivation of Tulane Virus, a Human Norovirus Surrogate).

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst have conducted a study on the efficacy of ozone microbubbles and conventional aqueous ozone as inactivation agents against Tulane virus, a human norovirus surrogate. Noroviruses are the primary cause of foodborne illnesses in the US, so finding effective inactivation agents is important. The study found that ozone microbubbles had a longer half-life than aqueous ozone and showed promising results in reducing the viral load of Tulane virus. However, further research is needed to fully understand the potential of ozone microbubbles. This research was supported by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. [Extracted from the article]
