Enteric Viruses in Water
A virus is a parasitic infectious microbe which can cause disease(s) in humans and animals. Viruses that can multiply in the gastrointestinal tract of humans or animals are known as “enteric viruses.” The most significant characteristic of enteric viruses is the ease by which they can be transferred from person to person. There are more than 200 recognized enteric viruses of which approximately 140 variations are currently known to infect humans.
