Abstract
This study investigated four methods for the recovery of enteroviruses from sterilized raw wastewater, activated sludge, thickened sludge and treated wastewater, inoculated with Echovirus 11, Gregory prototype. The adsorption-elution method recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was better for Echovirus 11 recovery than a sonication method, a modified EPA method and a membrane adsorption elution method since it resulted in the highest detection levels by cell culture and RT-PCR (Friedman's test, p < 0.00041 and p = 0.041, respectively).
