Adenoviruses are important human pathogens that are responsible for both enteric illnesses and respiratory and eye infections. Recently, these viruses have been found to be prevalent in rivers, coastal waters, swimming pool waters, and drinking water supplies worldwide. United Sates Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) listed adenovirus as one of nine microorganisms on the Contamination Candidate List for drinking water because their survival characteristic during water treatment is not yet fully understood. Adenoviruses have been found to be significantly more stable than fecal indicator bacteria and other enteric viruses during UV treatment. Adenovirus infection may be caused by consumption of contaminated water or inhalation of aerosolized droplets during water recreation. The goal of this review is to summarize the state of technology for adenovirus detection in natural and drinking waters and the human health risk imposed by this emerging pathogen. The occurrence of these viruses in natural and treated waters is summarized from worldwide reports.
腺病毒是重要的人类病原体，可导致肠道疾病以及呼吸道和眼部感染。最近，已发现这些病毒在世界各地的河流、沿海水域、游泳池水和饮用水供应中普遍存在。美国环境保护局（USEPA）将腺病毒列为饮用水污染候选名单上的九种微生物之一，因为其在水处理过程中的存活特性尚未完全了解。已发现腺病毒在紫外线处理过程中比粪便指示菌和其他肠道病毒稳定得多。腺病毒感染可能是由于饮用受污染的水或在水上娱乐活动中吸入雾化飞沫所致。本综述的目的是总结天然水和饮用水中腺病毒检测技术的现状以及这种新出现的病原体对人类健康造成的风险。世界各地的报告总结了这些病毒在天然水和处理后水中的存在情况。
