title: Attempts to isolate parvovirus from human acute non-bacterial gastro-enteritis cases.
abstract: It has been suggested that the causative agent of human acute non-bacterial gastro-enteritis, based on morphology, buoyant density in caesium choloride, resistance to acid, and reactions to ether and heat, may be a parvovirus. Using conditions optimal for parvovirus multiplication, attempts were made to isolate a parvovirus from such specimens. Results were negative indicating that the agent is not a parvovirus.
