Survival of Microbial Pathogens in the Marine Environment.
Abstract
Survival studies in filtered seawater at varying temperatures showed an increase in parvovirus viability with decreasing temperature. In further investigation of enterovirus elimination from untreated seawater, a marine bacterium, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, was isolated and found to possess a poliovirus I, non-filterable, virucidal effect. Survival of coliforms and human enteric pathogens in Chesapeake Bay also has been examined. (Author)
