AB  - Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are the leading cause of acute viral gastroenteritis 
      worldwide. The persistence of HuNoV in the environment contributes significantly 
      to its transmission to humans. Surrogate viruses are used to study HuNoV owing to 
      the lack of a cell culture system for this virus. Here, the persistence of Tulane 
      virus (TV) - a novel HuNoV surrogate - in surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) 
      as well as on acrylic-based solid (ABS) and stainless steel (SS) surfaces was 
      investigated. After 28 days, TV remained stable in SW (<1 log10 reduction) but 
      was reduced by >/=3.5 to 4 log10 in GW by day 21. TV had a higher rate of reduction 
      on SS compared with ABS, with corresponding D values of 18.5 +/- 0.34 and 13.1 +/- 
      0.36 days, respectively. This is the first study to demonstrate the persistence 
      of TV in environmental waters and on fomite surfaces.
