Human enteric viruses are detected frequently in various types of environmental water
samples, such as irrigation water, wastewater, recreational water, ground or subsurface
water and even drinking water, constituting a primary source of gastroenteritis or hepatitis
outbreaks. Only a few, but still infective number of viral particles are normally present in
water samples, therefore an efficient virus concentration procedure is essential prior to
molecular detection of the viral nucleic acid. In this study, a novel chromatographic …
