Objective: Exploring the disinfection effect of high-pressure carbon dioxide (HPCD) on human coronavirus 229E (hCoV-229E). Methods: The human coronavirus 229E (hCoV-229E) was treated by HPCD at different temperatures (10, 25, and 37 ℃) and pressures (6.3 and 10 MPa) for different time (15 and 30 min). Result: Compared with the control groups under the corresponding temperatures, the virus titer in 50 mL tube treated with HPCD at 10 ℃ and 6.3 MPa for 30 min was significantly decreased (P
