Abstract
Bacterial and animal viruses were inactivated by high voltage electrical discharges in water. The sensitivity of phages to the immediate component of this effect was correlated to the sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation. Transient electrical arcs in weak electrolytes also generated chemical compounds which were virucidal against phages T3, T5, and ϕX174 but were only slightly virucidal against phages T2 and T4.
