摘要：

The stability of viruses in marine water was evaluated. Poliovirus 1 was readily inactivated in seawater from five different sources. Moderately polluted water samples showed more antiviral activity than more heavily polluted or unpolluted samples. An antiviral activity coefficient (AVA) was calculated to express the level of antiviral activity in the test samples, demonstrating the occurrence of natural virus-inactivating phenomena in all the marine samples but not in freshwater samples. The major virus-inactivating agent(s) appeared to be of bacteriological nature. Poliovirus 1 showed faster decay rates than rotavirus SA11, coliphage f2, and bacteriophage B40-8 under laboratory and field conditions. The validity of bacteriophages as surrogate indicators of viral pollutants in the marine environment is discussed.
