title: Criteria for the choice of viruses in validation studies.
abstract: The criteria for the selection of viruses in validation studies are based on the nature of the virus contamination which may be encountered. A range of viruses with a spectrum of properties should be used, and may include those known or suspected to be present as well as those included to test the rigour of the process.
