The same mechanism, combined with the release of Ag(I), was also proposed by De Gusseme et al. to explain the reduced infectivity of MNV-1 virus when exposed to 11.2 nm biogenic Ag NPs.159 Finally, this docking of Ag NPs on the surface of viruses could be associated with the local release of ROS from the Ag NP surface, which would damage the envelope and/or membrane of the virus.
