RESUMO
Nemo, George J. (The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C.), and Ernest C. Cutchins. Effect of visible light on canine distemper virus. J. Bacteriol. 91:798–802. 1966.—Canine distemper virus (CDV) was inactivated by visible light. The virus was light-sensitive in fluid suspension (in vitro) as well as during intracellular replication (in vivo). The addition of calf serum or glutathione reduced the extent of inactivation. CDV was less sensitive when suspended in distilled water or in the amino acid or Earle's salts components of the minimal essential medium of Eagle than when suspended in the vitamin component of the minimal essential medium of Eagle or in riboflavine (0.1 mg per liter). These findings indicate that, whereas some ingredient of the medium may enhance light sensitivity, its presence is not necessary for light inactivation of CDV. It is proposed that some substance derived from the host cell and intimately associated with the virus particle serves to render CDV light-sensitive.
