Publication number: 20220288108Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method of preventing transmission of an enveloped RNA virus. The method includes applying to a mucosal tissue of a first mammalian subject not substantially colonized by the enveloped RNA virus an effective amount of an antiseptic composition or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to a treatment plan. The first mammalian subject not substantially colonized by the enveloped RNA virus interacts with a second mammalian subject colonized by the enveloped RNA virus at a first viral load, the first mammalian subject has a second viral load based on the interaction, the second viral load is no greater than 0.5 log increase over an initial viral load over a duration of the treatment plan. The mucosal tissue is in the nasopharynx, nasal cavity, or anterior nares of the mammalian subject. The antiseptic composition comprises iodine, iodophor, or combinations thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Kevin D. Landgrebe, Ranjani V.
