Viruses can be inactivated by physical (heat/radiation) or chemical (disinfectant) measures. The resistance of viruses very much depends on whether they have an envelope (lipophilic characteristics) or whether they are nonenveloped (mostly hydrophilic characteristics).
A preparation's activity against viruses can be tested by using the DVV test method (human medicine) and the DVG test method (veterinary medicine).
