The paper describes an accelerated procedure for isolating enteric viruses and a scheme for evaluating the viral contamination of pure waters, which involves the concentration of the viruses from the great water volumes by means ofa MFM 0142 membrane module with tangential filtration through an electropositive membrane (MMK) with a pore size of 0.2 microm, followed eluent determination of RNA of viruses by RT-PCR in combination with coliphages or ICC by RT-PCR.
