A model activated sludge treatment plant was used which was functionally very similar to a full-scale plant. It was inoculated with f2 coliphage and the titres of virus in the influent, the mixed liquor and the effluent were monitored regularly. The distribution of the virus in the solids and liquid fractions of the mixed liquor was in the ratio of 18:82 and 20.4% of the influent virus was recovered in the effluent. After inoculation was stopped the titre of virus in the solids fraction of the mixed liquor remained high and unaltered for up to 70 h, whereas the value for effluent reverted to the low background titre originally present. These results are discussed in relation to those reported for poliovirus and it is concluded that f2 coliphage is not a suitable model for studies of the behaviour of human enteroviruses.
使用了一个模型活性污泥处理厂，其功能与全尺寸工厂非常相似。用f2噬菌体进行接种，并定期监测进水、混合液和出水中病毒的滴度。混合液中病毒在固体和液体部分的分布比例为18:82，出水中回收了20.4%的进水病毒。停止接种后，混合液固体部分的病毒滴度在长达70小时内保持高位且不变，而出水的值则恢复到最初存在的低背景滴度。结合针对脊髓灰质炎病毒报告的结果对这些结果进行了讨论，得出结论认为f2噬菌体不是研究人类肠道病毒行为的合适模型。
