Detection and quantification of classic and emerging viruses by skimmed-milk flocculation and PCR in river water from two geographical areas

Key Points

• Detection of classic and emerging viruses in river water samples indicates possible contamination sources, raising public health concerns.
• Flocculation and PCR methods effectively quantify viruses, enabling precise monitoring across different geographical areas.
• Analysis focused on river water from two separate locations, enhancing understanding of virus distribution in water systems.
• Environmental implications highlight the need for ongoing water quality monitoring to safeguard against viral diseases.
