Abstract
A simple and rapid method for recovering enteroviruses from oysters is described. A polycation sewage flocculant promoted cohesion of oyster solids and thereby aided separation of these from the viruses. Recovery of 80 to 100% of experimentally inoculated virus was achieved, and the suspension or extract obtained could be inoculated directly into tissue cultures or concentrated first for greater sensitivity.Keywords
