Infectivity of BCoV after exposure to BP nsPEFs for different pulse numbers and E-fields. Viral infectivity was assessed by CPE evaluation. Viral titers were determined upon titration on HRT-18G cells, as described in the methods, and evaluated at 6 days post inoculation. a and b are the TCID₅₀/ml and % Inactivation (i.e., data normalized to non-exposed virus sham control/0 pulses) following exposure to 12.5 kV/cm BP pulses. c and d are the TCID₅₀/ml and % Inactivation following exposure to 25 kV/cm BP pulses. Data are expressed as mean values ± S.E.M. of at least three independent experiments (n = 3). Statistically significant differences are noted by an asterisk, which represents p < 0.05
