Abstract

This article presented the results of a study on the impact of physicochemical factors on the biological activity of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus isolated from a dog in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The results indicated that storing the virus at a temperature of -70°C led to a decrease in viral activity, similar to the effect observed when stored at room temperature. Storage at +40°C resulted in complete inactivation of the virus. The study on the effect of various concentrations of ionic and non-ionic detergents revealed that exposure to the ionic detergent DOC at concentrations of 0.1% and 0.5% caused a decrease in viral activity, while no change was observed at a concentration of 0.01%. The detergent SDS, at concentrations of 0.01%, 0.1%, and 0.5%, reduced the biological activity of the virus from the initial titer (5.25 lg TCID50/cm³) to 4.00 lg TCID50/cm³. Similarly, the use of non-ionic detergents, Triton X-100 and Tween-20, led to a reduction in viral activity from the initial titer to 4.50 lg TCID50/cm³.

The effect of pH in acidic, neutral, and alkaline environments on the biological activity of the virus was also studied. A decrease in viral activity was observed at acidic and alkaline pH levels, whereas a neutral pH environment had no impact on viral activity.
