  • Title: [Importance of the results of a virological examination of sewage. A comparison of the series of enteroviruses isolated from sewage and from the feces of virus excreters].
    Author: Drozdov SG, Kazantseva VA.
    Journal: Vopr Virusol; 1977; (5):597-602. PubMed ID: 201103.
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous examinations for the presence of enteroviruses were carried out on sewage of the central aeration station, periferal collectors of the most populous institutions, preschool children's institutions as well as feces of children attending these institutions in a community of urban type. A high degree of coincidence of spectra of enteroviruses isolated from sewage of the central station, periferal collectors, sewage of children's institutions, and from the feces of most virus excretors was demonstrated. No enteroviruses found in occasional virus excretors were detected in sewage. Enteroviruses were regularly found in sewage of periferal collectors if approximately 10% of children excreted a certain virus type simultaneously.
