Abstract
In recent years, pandemic outbreak due to a mutation of virus is paid close attention as a big problem that may collapse social order. Generally, the methods for preventing and healing disease by the virus depend on medical agents s uch as the vaccine or antiviral drug. However, the vaccine and antiviral drug could be poorly supplied when the pandemic occurred. Plasma has been proven to be capable of sterilizing bacteria and expected to inactivate the virus. In this study, we focused on the effect of chemical species generated by plasma flow on influenza viruses.
