Presence of enteric viruses in source waters for drinking water production in The Netherlands.
The quality of drinking water in The Netherlands has to comply with the Dutch Drinking Water Directive: less than one infection in 10,000 persons per year may occur due to consumption of unboiled drinking water. Since virus concentrations in drinking waters may be below the detection limit but entail a public health risk, the infection risk from drinking water consumption requires the assessmen...
متن کاملPresence of enteric viruses in freshwater and their removal by the conventional drinking water treatment process.
A review of results published in English or French between 1980 and 1990 was carried out to determine the levels of indigenous human enteric viruses in untreated surface and subsurface freshwaters, as well as in drinking water that had undergone the complete conventional treatment process. For this purpose, the conventional treatment process was defined as an operation that included coagulation...
متن کاملMechanism of inactivation of enteric viruses in fresh water.
Fresh water obtained from nine sources was shown to cause inactivation of poliovirus. Further testing with four of these water samples showed that enteric viruses from different genera were consistently inactivated in these freshwater samples. Studies on the cause of inactivation were conducted with echovirus type 12 as the model virus. The results revealed that the virucidal agents in the wate...
متن کاملDetection of human enteric viruses in stream water with RT-PCR and cell culture.
A multiplex RT-PCR method was used to measure virus occurrence at five stream water sites that span a range of hydroclimatic, water-quality, and land-use characteristics. The performance of the molecular method was evaluated in comparison with traditional cell culture and Escherichia coli membrane filtration assays. The study incorporated multiple quality controls and included a control for vir...
متن کاملDetection of human enteric viruses in shellfish collected in Tunisia.
AIMS The aim of this study was to detect the main pathogenic human RNA enteric viruses able to persist in the environment such as astrovirus, enterovirus, norovirus and hepatitis A virus (HAV) in shellfish collected from two locations in northern Tunisia. METHODS AND RESULTS Viruses were eluted from digestive tissues and concentrated by polyethylene glycol precipitation before nucleic acid ex...
