Why the study?
Enterovirus infectivity is typically measured as a bulk parameter, yet enterovirus serotypes vary in their susceptibility to natural and engineered stressors.
Population
Eight enterovirus serotypes commonly encountered in sewage (coxsackieviruses A9, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, and echoviruses 25, 30)
Design
In vitro method development and validation study

May improve wastewater surveillance for enteroviruses; leaves open clinical translation pending further validation.
The developed ICC-RTqPCR method accurately and specifically quantifies the infectious concentrations of eight enterovirus serotypes in environmental samples like wastewater.
Larivé et al. (2021) studied this question.
