Abstract:
:Commercially marketed kits are now available for rapid viral assay of clinical specimens. This study was conducted to determine the suitability of these kits for use in environmental testing. Eight rotavirus kits and one enteric adenovirus kit were screened for sensitivity using simian rotavirus SA11, human rotavirus Wa, and adenovirus 41. The most sensitive rotavirus kit and the adenovirus kit were selected for further evaluation using virus-seeded and unseeded sewage samples. The selected rotavirus kit proved capable of detecting virus at the 10(1) PFU/ml level. The enteric adenovirus kit was similarly sensitive, detecting virus at the 10(1) TCID50/ml level. Neither kit was adversely affected by the presence of sewage. Kit assay revealed 3 of 30 unseeded sewage samples to be positive for rotavirus. Adenovirus positive samples were not detected among the 30 samples. These results were confirmed using electron microscopy. It was concluded that sensitive commercial kits could provide a reasonable alternative to cell culture for the presumptive testing of environmental samples.
