Association among the Presence of Rotavirus Group A and Types of Sources Located in Rural Communities

Among the etiological agents of acute gastroenterocolitis, group A Rotavirus stands out. Proper hygiene and basic sanitation are prophylactic means. The present research aimed to carry out tracking in waters rural communities. collections were carried 86 residences, distributed 16 communities, considering types sources: tubular wells, excavated surface springs, cistern with rainwater springs. elution membranes negative charges was used obtain viral particles. Extraction genetic material cDNA synthesis performed according rules kit used, then qPCR an Applied Biosystems StepOne® thermal cycler. Statistical analysis using Stata® 16.0, BioEstat® 5.3 Minitab® 1. detected 47 samples (54.6%), however, there no significant association among municipalities presence Rotavirus. There a strong shallow well OR = 3.59 [1.05–12.28, p 0.04]. virus infect humans non-human animals, it can poultry, cattle pigs. water qualifies as biological marker quality would occur through fecal contamination underground.
