Figure 1

Survival of vaccinia virus strain WR in formulated tap water with 1 mg/L FAC and 2 mg/L total bromine. Positive control samples consisted of formulated tap water without disinfectant. All samples were incubated at 21°C, and, at intervals, viral titers were determined as described in Materials and Methods.
