Genomic detection of waterborne enteric viruses as water quality indicators in Al-Zarqa River, Jordan

Al-Zarqa River is the second main tributary to River Jordan after the Yarmouk River. The river flow has been modified by discharge of industrial wastewater and treated domestic water. Concerns about the occurrence of waterborne pathogenic viruses in the surface waters of Al-Zarqa River prompted the...
