Abstract
Viral complexes observed to be membrane-associated rather than antibody-clumped were detected in a rotavirus-abundant stool by negative-stain EM. These 'viral packets' were also observed in cell-culture fluids on repeat passage and contained up to 100 virions. Other stools had been observed to contain similar packets of parvovirus-like particles. Such complexes must be expected in fecally contaminated water.
