Isolation of virus is considered as the gold standard for establishing viral etiology of a disease. Most of the viruses can be cultivated in experimental animals, embryonated eggs or tissue culture. Chemically defined media is not used for viral isolation. Ref: Textbook of Microbiology and Immunology By Parija, pages 471-3
