Abstract
Viral research in seawater was made by the concentrated method of adsorption-elution on glass powder. This method enabled concentration of virus in the seawater. The frequency of virus isolation in the bathing zone considered to be healthy was very high. The concentration of virus was practically constant along an axis length 200 m distant in comparison with the bank. The increase of virus in the sea and estuary near the emission reflected a pattern similar to the bathing zone, 5 m away from the bank. The phenomenon of effluent dilution in the seawater did not apparently play a part.
