Abstract :
Environmental water quality monitoring is a global issue, and many efforts are being made to manage it properly. Enteroviruses are one of the most significant waterborne viruses. These viruses pose significant risks to the public health of humans, animals, and aquatic species through the discharge of sewage, agricultural operations, and runoff from landfills, penetrating into surface and groundwater. Early, rapid, and effective detection of culturable EVs in aquatic systems is essential to ensure water hygiene levels and implement appropriate water and wastewater treatment strategies. Biological monitoring of aquatic environments, despite the lower cost of measuring bacterial indicators such as fecal coliforms, Enterococci, and Clostridium perfringens, does not guarantee the absence of enteric viruses due to their resistance to chlorination and tertiary treatment. Enteroviruses are one of the viral indicators for monitoring of water quality and wastewater treatment systems, which have not yet been widely and commonly used. In this article, the practical adequacy of various new methods for the concentration and molecular identification of Enteroviruses in water and wastewater is assessed by evaluating reputable scientific databases.
