Abstract | The report on our cooperative endeavor to assess the virus hazard along the Missouri River. The detection of a virus in a sewage effluent ejected into a waterway constitutes a clear and present danger to health in the area of the outfall, immediately downstream of the outfall, and in communities well downstream when that virus will survive in the stream long enough to reach the downstream communities. The report discusses materials, methods, identification, and recovery. |
