Recovery of Ebola virus (EBOV)-Ecran from different test surfaces. EBOV-Ecran or tissue culture media (TCM) was deposited onto 2 different coupon types, or directly onto a sterile 6-well cell culture plate (no coupon), before being recovered into 2 mL TCM by vortexing for 10 s. Samples were washed up to three times prior to enumeration. The titre of EBOV-Ecran (in TCID₅₀/mL) recovered from 3 replicate tests is shown (±SEM). All TCM samples were negative for viable EBOV-Ecran. TCID₅₀: 50% tissue culture infectious dose.
