The study of the bovine enterovirus survival in water, slurry, and two layers of black soil, was carried out at 4°C and 20°C under laboratory conditions. Samples of soil, water, and slurry were infected with a suspension of the enterovirus. The titre of the virus at 4°C was determined on the day of inoculation (day 0) and on 7, 21, 42, 70, and 135 d after inoculation. At 20°C, the titre was determined at day 0 and after 7, 21, 35, and 49 d. The study showed that bovine enterovirus, present particularly in the samples of water and slurry, retains its ability to cause cytopathic effects. The temperature of 20°C significantly shortened the survival of the virus in water, soil, and slurry. The process of virus inactivation in the soil proceeded faster than in slurry and water, which indicates that viruses in the soil are subjected to the action of different factors.
