CMV was recently discussed and is destroyed by the freeze and thaw process -
the length of time frozen is not important.
I cannot speak about the other viruses but you might contact Nancy Wight or
George Sharpe for more information on those.

Subject: HIV, Hep A,B,&C, CMV - Destroyed by Freezing?
Hi, All: Does anyone know if HIV, Hepatits A,B&C and CMV(cytomegalovirus)
are destroyed by freezing for several days in refrigerator freezer? All
the information I have discusses heat pasteurization, not freezing. Thanks
for your input.
