The suspended samples of clay bound virus or clay/virus complex retained from the adsorption and desorption experiments were used for infectivity testing. Charcoal, sodium bentonite, attapulgite, kaolinite, and HSCAS III were found to adsorb greater than 99.0% of bovine rotavirus while the other materials assayed ranged in their adsorptive capabilities from less than 99% to greater than 78% (Table 1) . As both bovine rotavirus and coronavirus bound to various adsorbent materials, including HSCAS I and II, with high affinity, both were tested for infectivity when in the bound state. They may have a distinct advantage in prevention of infection and/or disease because most agents that cause gastroenteritis, including rotavirus and coronavirus, are generally contracted orally, usually via contaminated food and water. ./cache/cord-350467-18bvwxci.txt ./txt/cord-350467-18bvwxci.txt
