Detection of waterborne viruses

Water-transmitted viral pathogens are classified as having moderate to high health significance by the World Health Organization (WHO). Early and efficacious recognition of cultivable and fastidious EVs in aquatic systems is important to ensure the sanitary level of aquatic water and implement the required treatment strategies.

Waterborne Viruses include the following: 

1. Adenoviruses
2. Astroviruses
3. Hepatitis A and E viruses
4. Rotaviruses
5. Noroviruses
6. Enteroviruses, including coxsackieviruses and polioviruses

You can test the virus presence in:

1. Surface water
2. Sewage
3. Drinking water
4. Swimming Pools
5. Sea water

Sample volume

≥10 liters for all types of water except sewage (100 -1000 ml)
