* All the virus titres were titrated using Vero‐E6 cells. All experimental studies were done in three independent triplicates.
Detection limit of a typical TCID50 assay is 100 TCID50/mL, except reactions containing hand soap/chloroxylenol (detection limit:
103 TCID50/mL) or reactions containing povidone‐iodine/cholorhexidin/benzalkonium chloride; detection limit: 104 TCID50/mL)
because of their cytotoxic effects. N.D.: not done, U: undetectable.
# Only one of the triplicate reactions was positive in the TCID assay.
