Molecular characterization of sewage-borne pathogens and detection of sewage markers in an urban stream in Caracas, Venezuela.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Molecular characterization of two sewage-borne pathogens identified hepatitis A virus (HAV) subgenotype IA and Giardia duodenalis assemblages A and B as predominant genotypes circulating in an urban area of Venezuela. This study reveals epidemiological features of human pathogens of worldwide distribution and the efficacy of molecular methods for accurate assessment of sewage pollution.

Molecular detection and characterization of Aichi viruses in sewage-polluted waters of Venezuela.
The circulation of Aichi virus in a major urban area was demonstrated using molecular detection with samples recovered from a major river polluted with sewage discharges in Caracas, Venezuela. Five out of 11 water samples studied were positive, being classified by phylogenetic analysis as genotype B. Analysis of sewage waters appears to be a useful methodology to uncover the presence of a hithe...

متن کاملStudy of Linear Alkyl Benzene (LABs) as molecular marker of sewage pollution in Bivalves Mollusk “AnodontaCygnea” in Anzali lagoon
Tracking and determining the amount and types of urban sewage that is being releasing to the environment is important in planning for wastewater treatment systems and water quality control. In this research, in four stations of Anzali Lagoon, (by means of a gas chromatograph device with mass detector spectrometer) wastewater pollution has been measured and evaluated with molecular indicator Lin...
