Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To study the virological quality of surface water from highly urbanized tropical water catchment areas and to determine predominant enteric viral genotypes in surface water. METHODS AND RESULTS: A wide range of human pathogenic viruses in urban surface waters was screened by nested PCR assays after concentration by ultrafiltration. Among the 84 water samples collected, at least one virus was detected in 70...
