Summary: | In our paper we have researched the relationship between picornaviruses (poliovirus, foot-and-mouth disease virus and encephalomyocarditis virus) and Ciliata (
Paramecium caudatum
). We show that the number of
Paramecium
in medium sharply increased during coincubation with picornaviruses within 2–5 days. This cannot be explained only by the fact that viruses were nutrient source for
Paramecium
because in case of inactivated viruses the number of infusorians in medium increased a little. At the same time the titer of viruses harshly decreased whereas in the control group, which is free of
Paramecium
, the fall of titer was little. Picornaviruses were eliminated from medium if only living
Parameciums
were present in medium. After 7–9 days of coincubation only a few number of viruses were liberated from destroyed
Parameciums
. These results will be especially useful for management of reservoirs of picornaviruses in water and prevention of diseases. |
