<p>Viral transmission is inhibited by exposing the virus to an environment causing replication steps to occur out of their normal sequence. The virus may be exposed to an environment which causes a topological change to its exposed proteins (such as haemagglutinin), thus preventing adhesion of the virus to its host cell. The environment may be acidic, for example comprising a pH below 6, preferably between 4 and 6. The method may be used to inhibit transmission of the influenza virus.</p> |
