USE OF MOLECULAR TECHNIQUES TO DETECT VIRUSES IN DIFFERENT WATER BODIES
entericviruse, realtime pcr. adenoviruses. rote riruses, water treat ment plant, campactunits
Drinking water is one of the main sources of microbial pathogens in developing regions, which affect human health, furthermore there are many diseases associated with water. Many experiments are done to approve that no any pathogens found in drinking water. These experiments show the bacterial and physicochemical properties to water but don’t show the presence of viruses in water. There are many viruses found in water which called enteric viruses group that cause gastroenteritis for children and adult people. One of this group is rotavirus (RNA virus) which can pass through the treatment steps and can resistant to chlorine. Another virus is adenovirus which causes many diseases like gastroenteritis, childhood respiratory and conjunctivitis. Furthermore, adenovirus is DNA viruses which can more resistance to chlorine and treatment processes in water treatment plant. The present investigation was conducted to study the detection of the enteric viruses (especially, rotavirus and adenovirus) in different treatment steps of water treatment plant and show the relation between the bacterial indicators and those two viruses.
