Implication

Genome detection may overestimate infectious poliovirus risk in mineral water; leaves open whether PCR surveillance reliably predicts transmission potential.

Structured PICO

Population

Poliovirus 1 and Feline calicivirus f9 in mineral water

Intervention

Exposure to different temperatures (10, 20, and 35 degrees C)

Outcome

Stability and degradation rates of infectious viruses compared to viral genomessurrogate

Detection of viral genomes in mineral water does not correlate with viral infectivity and is insufficient to assume infectious risk.
