Summary: | Several laboratories monitoring for enteroviruses in wastewater have reported a high percentage of false-positive viral plaques. This article discusses the issue of possible false evaluation of viral plaque determinations in wastewater, and reviews the preventive measures taken in several wastewater studies conducted in our laboratory, which minimized this phenomenon. Our results showed that with the procedures described, no false-positive plaques were found. |
