Food Environ Virol. 2018 Jun;10(2):209-211. doi: 10.1007/s12560-017-9332-2. Epub 2017 Dec 14.

Abstract

This study examined the efficacy of reovirus concentration from large volumes of water using two positively charged filters: Zeta Plus 1MDS and NanoCeram. The results indicated that an average of 61 and 81% of input reoviruses were effectively recovered, respectively, from recycled water and tap water using NanoCeram filtration.
