Assessment of the stability of human viruses and coliphage in groundwater by PCR and infectivity methods
27 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the potential health hazard from infectious viruses where coliphages, or viruses by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), have been detected in groundwater. Two aspects were investigated: the relationship between infectivity and detection by PCR and the stability of coliphage compared to human viruses. METHODS AND RESULTS: Virus decay (1 year) and detection (2 years) studies were undertaken on...
