Abstract

The effect of the type and pH of an elution solution on the recovery of poliovirus from water by a virus concentration method using an electropositive filter was evaluated. The experimental results obtained indicated the potential usefulness of H2SO4 (pH 1.5–3.5) as a novel solution for virus elution.
