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

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.
