Implication

May influence viral persistence during sludge heat treatment; leaves open detergent-specific adjustments in wastewater protocols.

Structured PICO

Population

Reovirus and enteroviruses (including poliovirus) in wastewater sludge

Intervention

Ionic detergents (anionic and cationic)

Comparator

Nonionic detergents

Outcome

Thermal stability (heat required to inactivate the viruses)surrogate

Ionic detergents in wastewater sludge are the major components that reduce the thermal stability of reovirus while protecting enteroviruses against heat.
