Theoretically, any metal could be analysed for antiviral activity, however, little effort has been done to determine the interactions of metal nanoparticles with viruses, and only recently some studies have emerged showing that metal nanoparticles can be effective antiviral agents against HIV-1 [37] [38] [39] [40] , hepatitis B virus [41] , respiratory syncytial virus [42] , herpes simplex virus type 1 [43, 44] , monkeypox virus [45] , influenza virus [46] and Tacaribe virus [47] . ./cache/cord-254194-962vynwk.txt ./txt/cord-254194-962vynwk.txt
