Rapid Solar Photoinactivation of Influenza Virus and Phi6 in Colored Surface Water.

Summary: Did you know that the flu virus can spread through water in nature? Scientists wanted to see how sunlight destroys these viruses in different types of water. They tested the flu virus and other similar viruses in both clear and colored water using fake sunlight. They measured how fast the sun can kill these germs, which helps us understand how the flu spreads between animals and humans in aquatic environments.
