The microculture plaque titration of virus shows an important disadvantage : the reduction of the areas observation brings out plaque convergence and prevents from their exact enumeration. Nevertheless, a method, proposed by Moore, enables the estimation of virus title. The influence of the dilution and repetition factors on the title precision has been investigated. Two examples are treated.
