Identification of cytopathogenic isolates from environmental matrices: application of analytical protocols.
This work was aimed at studying cytopathogenic agents isolated from the environment by adopting, in parallel, various techniques currently used in clinical virology. The purpose of this research was not only to identify the viral species isolated but also to verify the most reliable protocols for environmental applications.
