Exploring waterborne viruses in groundwater: Quantification and Virome characterization via passive sampling and targeted enrichment sequencing

Abstract excerpt

• Fecal pollution is the primary source of virus contamination in urban aquifers. • Viral passive samplers increase the likelihood of virus detection in groundwater. • Target enrichment sequencing unveiled a broad spectrum of human and animal viruses. • VPS offers a time-integrated method for sampling multiple wells simultaneously. • Virome characterization of groundwater can influence local groundwater...
