Abstract Wastewater plays a major role in water pollution causing transmission of several viral pathogens, including Aichi virus (AiV) and human bocavirus (HBoV), associated with gastrointestinal illness humans. In this study, we investigated the presence AiV HBoV aquatic, sludge, sediment matrices collected from Abu-Rawash wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), El-Rahawy drain, Rosetta branch River Nile Egypt by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RNA was detected 16.6% (2/12), 8.3%...

This paper aims to quantify human adenovirus (HAdV), rotavirus species A (RVA), and hepatitis virus (HAV) in surface water sediments determine the viability of HAdV these samples. Water sediment samples were collected, HAdV, RVA, HAV quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR); was also evaluated for infectivity a plaque assay (PA). For samples, detected 70.8% summer collections, with 82.4% containing infectious HAdV; incidence winter 62.5%. 37.5% 66.7% 37.5%. RVA 20.8 45.8%...

A chalcone bearing naphthalene–benzofuran rings was synthesized. The behavior of this towards some nitrogen and carbon nucleophiles with formation pyrazole, isooxazole, thiazole, pyrimidine, pyran, pyridine studied. Also, acetohydrazide synthesized utilized as a key starting material in the synthesis 2,4‐dioxothiazolidine 2,4‐dioxoquinazolin derivatives. structures all products obtained were illustrated from their analytical spectral data. Some new compounds selected evaluated antiviral...

Abstract Sewage discharge is considered to be the primary source of viral contamination in aquatic environments. This study was conducted evaluate impact El-Rahawy wastewater on water quality Rosetta branch River Nile (Rosetta Nile) through detection astrovirus (AstV) and norovirus (NoV) sediments both sites. For this purpose, we collected 72 12 sediment samples from drain, river before after mixing with between April 2017 March 2018. AstVs NoVs were identified (40.2% versus 25%), (41.6%...

In this study, the prevalence of astrovirus (AstV), norovirus (NoV), and group C rotaviruses (RVC) were described in urban sewage, sewage sludge, river water, sediment samples from Egypt. AstV, NoV, RVC detected 58.3%, 33.3%, 25% raw samples; 25%, 16.6% treated 66.6%, 16.6%, 8.3% sludge samples, respectively. On other hand, water 8.3%, 0% The study revealed that AstV genogroup B NoV I are most frequent genotypes Egyptian environment. Furthermore, peak was found winter months however there no...
