Applicability of infectivity assay for the quantification of infectious human adenovirus genotype 5 in UV-irradiated wastewater

The use of infectivity assays in domestic wastewater samples is limited because of the concerns around cytotoxicity to host cells, thus, the UV inactivation efficiency of human adenoviruses (HAdVs) in wastewater remains unclear. In this study, a human adenovirus genotype five (HAdV-5) host cell line...
