ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Simian rotavirus SA-11, experimentally seede, was recovered from raw domestic sewage by a two-step concentration procedure, using filtration through a positively charged microporous filter (Zeta Plus 60 S) followed by ultracentrifugation, effecting an 8000-fold concentration. By this method, a mean recovery of 81 per centñ7.5 of the SA-11 virus was achieved.
