Outline of Final Research Achievements

In mouse noroviruses used as surrogate model viruses for human noroviruses, we found that disinfection with free chlorine and alkaline treatment caused adaptive evolution in which the mouse norovirus population acquired disinfection resistance. These results suggest that the use of virus strains with higher susceptibility to disinfection (i.e., lower disinfection resistance) in disinfection tests performed in sewage treatment is likely to introduce bias in the assessment of viral strain inactivation efficiency. This finding indicates the need to use less susceptible virus strains in disinfection testing.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

下水処理場はヒトを感染症から守る重要な水インフラであるが、下水処理過程で行われる消毒処理が、ノロウイルス等の病原体への消毒耐性を獲得させる進化圧となっている可能性がある。本研究は、培養細胞を使った実験室レベルのウイルス進化実験を行い、水インフラ環境に起因する病原体の適応進化を示す証拠を示した。この知見は、下水処理により除去/不活化されにくいノロウイルスの遺伝系統を見極め、それらを不活化するために十分な消毒剤の添加量を定めるための基礎的知見として活用される。
