Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term survival of human rotavirus in raw and treated river water.
TL;DR: It is indicated that rotaviruses can survive for several days in raw and treated river water thus making recreational and potable waters potential vehicles for the transmission of rotavirus infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rotavirus inactivation by chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in hospitals.
TL;DR: The virucidal capacity of Savlon and Zephiran was completely neutralized when single-strength tryptose phosphate broth was added to the virus-disinfectant mixture to simulate an organic load and should be of help in the prevention and control of outbreaks of rotaviral diarrhea in the hospital environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rotavirus survival in conventionally treated drinking water
TL;DR: Simian rotavirus SA-11 could survive well enough in conventionally treated drinking water to make it a possible vehicle for their transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rotavirus concentration from raw water using positively charged filters.
TL;DR: Positively charged (PC) Zeta Plus (30 S) filters and talc-Celite (TC) layers were tested for their ability to concentrate human rotavirus (strain Wa) from seeded samples of raw water (RW), collected from the Ottawa River.
