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...

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 analysis of the surface water quality with respect to the presence of enteric viruses. Viruses were concentrated from a total of 33 different water environmental samples including raw sewage, effluent samples and river water collected from and around the river over a period of 11 months. Calculated recovery yields for these concentration methods ranged between 2 and 8%. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR), nested RT-PCR and southern blotting hybridization analysis were used for the detection of hepatitis A virus, norovirus, astrovirus and human adenovirus 40/41, with the later one being detected in 21 (64%) of the samples that also showed previous positive presence for enteroviruses. To our knowledge, this is the first molecular biology report in Jordan describing the circulation of adenoviruses, which were detected more frequently than enteroviruses in sewage and water samples, and therefore, they can be used as an index for the presence of human pathogenic viruses in water environment. HIGHLIGHTS
