In the present study, molecular detection of human adenoviruses (HAdV) and enteroviruses (EV) was performed in surface water samples collected from beaches Ipanema and Lami, located on the shores of Lake Guaíba, city of Porto Alegre, RS, southern Brazil. Furthermore, water safety was evaluated by counting thermotolerant coliforms (TC), following local government regulations. A total of 36 samples were collected monthly from six different sites along the beaches. Viral genomes were found in 30 (83.3%) samples. The higher detection rate was observed for HAdV (77.8%), followed by EV (22.2%). Although low concentrations of TC have been found, the occurrence of viral genomes in water samples was frequent and may pose a potential risk of infection for people bathing in these beaches.
在本研究中,对从巴西南部里约格兰德州阿雷格里港市瓜伊巴湖岸边的伊帕内玛海滩和拉米海滩采集的地表水样本进行了人类腺病毒(HAdV)和肠道病毒(EV)的分子检测。此外,按照当地政府规定,通过对耐热大肠菌群(TC)进行计数来评估水的安全性。每月从海滩沿线的六个不同地点共采集36个样本。在30个(83.3%)样本中发现了病毒基因组。HAdV的检出率较高(77.8%),其次是EV(22.2%)。尽管发现TC的浓度较低,但水样中病毒基因组的出现很频繁,可能会对在这些海滩游泳的人构成潜在感染风险。
