    The largest problem is that single viruses may create multiple plaques, resulting on overestimates of the number of viruses present.

    Explanation:

    Plague assay allows to measure the concentration of viruses in a sample, it is a widely used approach for determining the quantity of infectious virus. Therefore the amount of plaques created by a single virus is not a concern when evaluating the results of plaque assays.
