One-year Survey of human enteroviruses from sewage and the factors affecting virus adsorption to the suspended solids.

ABSTRACT: This study described the results of environmental enterovirus surveillance conducted in Shandong Province of China in 2013. Altogether 39 sewage samples were collected and 873 enterovirus isolates (including 334 polioviruses) belonging to 22 serotypes were obtained. Echovirus (E) -7, coxsackievirus (CV) -B5, E-11, E-6, and E-3 were the most commonly detected non-polio enterovirus serotypes, and phylogeny of E-7 and CV-B5 was described. The numbers of isolates of different serotypes from sewage supernatant were compared with those from the solids. Interestingly, dramatic divergence was observed between the supernatant and solids origin for the serotypes of E-3 and E-6, which were prone to the solids and supernatant, respectively. A following adsorption test with E-3 and E-6 added sewage spe
