Abstract
Background: The measures implemented against the coronavirus pandemic also led to a sharp decline in influenza infections in the 2020/2021 flu season. In the meantime, however, the number of influenza infections has risen again; it is known from history that influenza viruses can also trigger severe pandemics. Therefore, we investigated the efficacy of ultraviolet radiation in the spectral range of 200–40 for inactivating influenza viruses.Materials and methods: The scientific literature was searched for published ultraviolet (UV) irradiation experiments with influenza viruses and the results
