This book was released on 2006 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes testing of the survivability of MS2 virus under harsh conditions using the Integrated Virus Detection System (IVDS). In this study, the MS2 was subjected to a highly acidic and oxidative environment. Judging by the concentration of the virus particles, the virus survived 66 hr in 0.1 N HNO3 solution without any signs of diminution in the number of virus particles. This suggests that viruses might be able to survive such harsh environmental conditions.
