Detection of rotavirus in sewage and creek water: efficiency of the concentration method.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simian rotavirus SA-11 experimentally seeded, was recovered from raw domestic sewage by a two-step concentration procedure, using filtration through a positively charged microporous filter (Zeta Plus 60 S) followed by ultracentrifugation, effecting an 8,000-fold concentration. By this method, a mean recovery of 81% +/- 7.5 of the SA-11 virus, was achieved.

Electropositive filter membrane as an alternative for the elimination of PCR inhibitors from sewage and water samples.
PCR is the best method for the detection of enteric viruses present at low concentrations in environmental samples. However, some organic and inorganic compounds present in these samples can interfere in the reaction. Many of these substances are cytotoxic, too. The ZP60S filter membranes used in addition to fluorpentane treatment are quite efficient for virus concentration and simultaneous eli...
متن کاملDetection and distribution of rotavirus in raw sewage and creeks in São Paulo, Brazil.
Rotaviruses were concentrated from 8-liter samples of raw domestic sewage and sewage-polluted creek water by adsorption to and elution from positively charged microporous filters (Zeta Plus 60S), followed by ultracentrifugation of the filter eluates. Indirect immunofluorescence and direct immunoperoxidase methods allowed detection and enumeration of rotavirus in 6 (20.6%) of 29 sewage samples a...
متن کاملAn improved method for concentrating rotavirus from water samples.
A modified adsorption-elution method for the concentration of seeded rotavirus from water samples was used to determine various factors which affected the virus recovery. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the rotavirus antigen after concentration. Of the various eluents compared, 0.05M glycine, pH 11.5 gave the highest rotavirus antigen recovery using negatively charged me...
متن کاملAn efficient virus concentration method and RT-nested PCR for detection of rotaviruses in environmental water samples.
Water samples were concentrated by the modified adsorption-elution technique followed by speedVac reconcentration of the filter eluates. Reverse transcriptase-nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-nested PCR) was used to detect rotavirus RNA in concentrates of the water. The detection limit of the rotavirus determined by RT-nested PCR alone was about 1.67 plaque forming units (PFU) per RT-PCR as...

Partial least squares modeling as a powerful multivariate statistical tool was applied tothe simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of silicate and phosphate in aqueoussolutions. The concentration range for silicate and phosphate were 0.02-0.6 and 0.4-3 μg ml-1,respectively. The experimental calibration set was composed with 30 sample solutions using amixture design for two component mix...
