Method for recovering viruses from river water solids.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Small numbers of virions (poliovirus 1) that had been adsorbed to river water solids were eluted by mixing the solids for 30 min with a 10% solution of beef extract that contained sufficient Na2HPO4 to bring the molarity of the salt to 0.05 and sufficient citric acid to bring the pH to 7. The virions were recovered by inoculating the beef extract onto cell cultures. With this method, 39 to 63% of the poliovirions that had been adsorbed onto the river water solids were recovered.

متن کاملComparison of concentration methods for quantitative detection of sewage-associated viral markers in environmental waters.
Pathogenic human viruses cause over half of gastroenteritis cases associated with recreational water use worldwide. They are relatively difficult to concentrate from environmental waters due to typically low concentrations and their small size. Although rapid enumeration of viruses by quantitative PCR (qPCR) has the potential to greatly improve water quality analysis and risk assessment, the up...
