Implication

Highlights need for water quality monitoring in endemic regions; leaves open links to human acute flaccid paralysis burden.

Structured PICO

Population

44 grab river water samples from sewage-polluted urban (Metro Manila) and rural (Bulacan) rivers in the Philippines

Outcome

Detection and genetic characterization of enteroviruses

Environmental surveillance of sewage-polluted rivers in the Philippines reveals widespread circulation of diverse enteroviruses that genetically cluster with human clinical strains.

Limitations

small sample size
relied on molecular detection and not viral isolation
partial VP1 sequences were amplified
