| Abstract |
Two candidate methods for the recovery and detection of viruses in soil were subjected to round robin comparative testing by members of the American Society for Testing and Materials D19:24:04:04 Subcommittee Task Group. Selection of the methods was based upon results of an initial screening which indicated that both met basic criteria considered essential by the task group. Both methods utilized beef extract solutions to achieve desorption and recovery of viruses from representative soils: a fine sand soil; an organic muck soil; a sandy loam soil; and a clay soil. The Berg method seemed to produce slightly higher virus recovery values, however the differences in virus assay titers for samples produced by the two methods were not statistically significant (p < or = 0.05) for any one of the four soils. Despite this lack of a Method Effect, there was a statistically significant Laboratory Effect exhibited by assay titers from the independent versus reference laboratories for two of the soils, the sandy loam and clay. |
