Tree number(s): SP4.606.837.620.114.754.444
Scope note: Water virological characteristics are identified by collection processes, concentration of samples (since viruses are normally present in small amounts in water, it is necessary to collect bulky samples), removal of viral inhibitors and virus detection by molecular genotyping methods . There is still no “universal” viral indicator capable of monitoring the presence of pathogenic enteric viruses and thus ensuring good quality of water intended for human consumption in terms of virological safety.
