1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
A study of the presence of human viruses (adenoviruses, enteroviruses, and hepatitis A viruses [HAVs]) in environmental and shellfish samples was carried out by applying DNA and cDNA amplification techniques by PCR.

The samples studied were urban and slaughterhouse sewage, river water, seawater,...
