Enteric viruses in New Zealand drinking-water sources
20/08/2009
Our aim was to determine whether human-pathogenic viruses are present in surface water used as the source of drinking-water. We regularly sampled two rivers over two years. Enteric viruses were concentrated using ultrafiltration and detected using PCR for adenovirus, norovirus, enterovirus, rotavirus, and hep atitis E virus (HEV).
