“…Although the analysis of a larger number of samples is necessary, this study reports a high PAV and BAV prevalence in animal feces, as has been described for HAd in humans. This finding as well as adenoviral features such as their DNA genome, uniform geographical and seasonal distribution (24), and stability under a wide range of environmental conditions (12,18,23) lead us to regard this viral family as a suitable indicator of viral contamination. The methodology reported in this work is reliable and specific.…”

In this study, a molecular procedure for the detection of adenoviruses of animal origin was developed to evaluate the level of excretion of these viruses by swine and cattle and to design a test to facilitate the tracing of specific sources of environmental viral contamination. Two sets of oligonucleotides were designed, one to detect porcine adenoviruses and the other to detect bovine and ovine adenoviruses. The specificity of the assays was assessed in 31 fecal samples and 12 sewage samples that were collected monthly during a 1-year period. The data also provided information on the environmental prevalence of animal adenoviruses. Porcine adenoviruses were detected in 17 of 24 (70%) pools of swine samples studied, with most isolates being closely related to serotype 3. Bovine adenoviruses were present in 6 of 8 (75%) pools studied, with strains belonging to the genera Mastadenovirus and Atadenovirus and being similar to bovine adenoviruses of types 2, 4, and 7. These sets of primers produced negative results in nested PCR assays when human adenovirus controls and urban-sewage samples were tested. Likewise, the sets of primers previously designed for detection of human adenovirus also produced negative results with animal adenoviruses. These results indicate the importance of further studies to evaluate the usefulness of these tests to trace the source of fecal contamination in water and food and for environmental studies.

“…Infectivity data suggest that Giardia, with a low ID 50 (the inoculum at which 50% of exposed subjects are infected) and long shedding duration, and rotavirus, with a low ID 50 and high shedding rates, are more infectious (24-26) than diarrhea-causing E. coli (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31). Diarrheagenic E. coli species tend to persist in the environmental for shorter periods of time than either Giardia or rotavirus (24,(32)(33)(34)(35)(36).…”

“…Human adenovirus type 2 Adenoid 6 (ATCC VR-846) was propagated and assayed in the PLC/PRF/5 cell line (6). Coxsackievirus B5 HA (ATCC VR-688), coxsackievirus B5 Faulkner (ATCC VR-185), echovirus 1 Farouk (ATCC VR-31), echovirus 11 Gregory (ATCC VR-41), and poliovirus 1 LSC-2ab were propagated in the BGM cell line.…”

The doses of UV irradiation necessary to inactivate selected enteric viruses on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Contaminant Candidate List were determined. Three-log reductions of echovirus 1, echovirus 11, coxsackievirus B3, coxsackievirus B5, poliovirus 1, and human adenovirus type 2 were effected by doses of 25, 20.5, 24.5, 27, 23, and 119 mW/cm2, respectively. Human adenovirus type 2 is the most UV light-resistant enteric virus reported to date
