[Detection of small amounts of viruses (enteroviruses) in drinking water (author's transl)]. 1977

D Beytout, and F Charrier, and H Laveran, and M Monghal

A simple detection method of enteroviruses and adenoviruses in drinking water has been performed, using adsorption-elution on to cellulose nitrate membranes. Average of enteroviruses recovering is varying from 23 to 80% when 30 liters of water containing 60 PFU are monitored. Only 10% of adenoviruses are recovered in the same conditions. This method allowed us to detect 12 PFU of enteroviruses in 120 liters of water. Recovering of 1 PFU in 10 liters when examining more than 100 liters is reproducible.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004770 Enterovirus A genus of the family PICORNAVIRIDAE whose members preferentially inhabit the intestinal tract of a variety of hosts. The genus contains many species. Newly described members of human enteroviruses are assigned continuous numbers with the species designated "human enterovirus". Coxsackie Viruses,Coxsackieviruses
D000256 Adenoviridae A family of non-enveloped viruses infecting mammals (MASTADENOVIRUS) and birds (AVIADENOVIRUS) or both (ATADENOVIRUS). Infections may be asymptomatic or result in a variety of diseases. Adenoviruses,Ichtadenovirus,Adenovirus,Ichtadenoviruses
D014462 Ultrafiltration The separation of particles from a suspension by passage through a filter with very fine pores. In ultrafiltration the separation is accomplished by convective transport; in DIALYSIS separation relies instead upon differential diffusion. Ultrafiltration occurs naturally and is a laboratory procedure. Artificial ultrafiltration of the blood is referred to as HEMOFILTRATION or HEMODIAFILTRATION (if combined with HEMODIALYSIS).
D014871 Water Microbiology The presence of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in water. This term is not restricted to pathogenic organisms. Microbiology, Water
