This book argues, that without methods, there can be no research.
Effective research requires effective methods, not always easy to
come by. The development of methods in environmental virology
became a focus of growing interest about two decades ago. Progress
has been significant since that time in pure experimental systems,
where there are no interferences, consistent high recoveries of
viruses from environmental waters has been achievable for some
time. In the natural environment, however, in relatively clean
waters, substances such as humic and fulvic acids interfere with
viral recoveries and average recovery rates probably do not reach
20%. With sewage sludges and shellfish, recoveries are undoubtedly
much lower. Yet, even relatively low viral recovery rates have made
possible the detection of viral hazards in drinking waters. The
hazards that exist are undoubtedly much greater than those
demonstrated with the relatively inefficient methods inefficient
methods developed thus far. Improving methods, as they are
developed in the years to come, will undoubtedly bring the true
extent of the hazards into better perspective.
