Detection of Enteric Viruses in a Pilot System for Municipal Wastewater Treatment
A pilot system for treating municipal waste was evaluated to verify its ability to remove viral pathogens. The presence of Adeno vi rus, Calicivirus, Enterovirus and Hepatitis A and E was determined using RT-PCR. The efficiency of coliphages as indicators and the presence of classic bacterial indica...
