Efficacy of Nucleic Acid Probes for Detection of Poliovirus in Water Disinfected by Chlorine, Chlorine Dioxide, Ozone, and UV Radiation

摘要: MilliQ water was inoculated with poliovirus type 1 strain LSc-1 and treated disinfectants, including chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, UV light. No relationship between probes plaque assays were seen, demonstrating that viral nucleic acids not destroyed. These findings suggest acid cannot distinguish infectious noninfectious viruses be used in the evaluation of waters.
