What Is Filtrable Virus?

The term “filterable viruses” was introduced in the late nineties of the preceding century, to denote a group of disease producing agents, which seemed to differ from other forms of living matter in their ability to pass through earthenware filters having a pore diameter smaller than the smallest bacteria then known.

What is a non filterable virus?

Historically, viruses were defined as “non-filterable agents” because they were able to pass through filters with pore sizes small enough to capture bacteria. Today, we know that by using oppositely charged filter media, viruses can be captured from suspending solutions.
