Genetic diversity of human polyomavirus JCPyV in Southern California wastewater.

Journal of water and health - 1 Dec 2008

Rafique Amana, Jiang Sunny C

Abstract excerpt

JC Polyomavirus (JCPyV) has the potential to be used as a viral marker for human waste contamination because at least 40% of the human population excretes this virus through its urine. In addition, each of 6 known subtypes of JCPyV is associated with a specific human ethnicity group, which has allowed for tracing of human migration. This study aims to explore the possibility of linking the genetic diversity of...
