Inactivation of viruses by coherent excitations with a low power visible femtosecond laser.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Chronic viral hepatitis B remains a global public health concern. Currently, several drugs, such as lamivudine and telbivudine, are recommended for treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B. However, there are no conclusive results on the comparison of the efficacy of lamivudine (LAM) and telbivudine (L...
