Implication
May aid enterovirus surveillance in water; extends concentration methods across matrices but leaves field validation open.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Large volumes of tap water, treated sewage, and seawater containing enteroviruses (poliovirus)
I
Intervention
Virus concentration method using acidified water (pH 3.5) with aluminum chloride, adsorption to fiberglass filters, elution with glycine buffer (pH 10.5-11.5), and reconcentration via aluminum flocculation and hydroextraction
C
Comparator
Laboratory batch studies vs acid-salt injection setup
O
Outcome
Virus recovery efficiencysurrogate
The described unified scheme allows for efficient concentration of enteroviruses from various water sources with high flow rates and resistance to clogging.
