    This study presents a new method for detecting enteroviruses in aquatic sediments. The technique effectively recovers viruses from both freshwater and marine environments, crucial for environmental monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Microbiology
    • Virology
    • Water Quality Assessment

    Background:

    • Enteroviruses are significant human pathogens.
    • Their presence in aquatic sediments poses a risk to environmental and public health.
    • Effective detection methods for sediment-borne viruses are needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a method for detecting enteroviruses in freshwater and marine sediments.
    • To assess the recovery efficiency of the proposed method.
    • To demonstrate the method's utility in detecting viruses near pollution sources.

    Main Methods:

    • Virus recovery from sediments using elution with 6% beef extract at pH 9.0.
    • Concentration of eluted viruses using polyethylene glycol 6000.

  • Application of the method to sediment samples from marine and freshwater environments.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful recovery of enteroviruses from both marine (6-55% efficiency) and freshwater (16-77% efficiency) sediments.
    • Recovery efficiency was influenced by sediment characteristics.
    • The method successfully detected viruses in sediments near sewer outfalls.

    Conclusions:

    • A robust method for enterovirus detection in diverse aquatic sediments has been established.
    • This method is valuable for environmental surveillance and risk assessment.
    • The findings highlight the importance of monitoring sediment-associated viruses in aquatic ecosystems.
