Key result
A survey of domestic sewage in Laval and Montreal from 1979-1981 identified multiple strains of enteric viruses, including nonvaccinal poliovirus types 2 and 3, coxsackieviruses, and echoviruses.
Observational
Yes
Environmental surveillance of sewage can effectively detect circulating enteric viruses, including nonvaccinal poliovirus strains, correlating with clinical isolations.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Sewage surveys can detect circulating enteric viruses; leaves open modern validation for polio surveillance.
Payment et al. (1983) conducted an observational in Enteric viruses in domestic sewage. Sewage sampling for enteric viruses was evaluated on Presence of enteric viruses. A survey of domestic sewage in Laval and Montreal from 1979-1981 identified multiple strains of enteric viruses, including nonvaccinal poliovirus types 2 and 3, coxsackieviruses, and echoviruses.
