Detection of hepatitis A virus in estuarine samples by gene probe assay

T G Metcalf et al. Microbiol Sci. 1988 Oct.

Abstract

The development and use of gene probe assays for rapid, sensitive and specific detection of hepatitis A virus in natural estuarine settings are described. Potentially health hazardous water-borne dissemination of hepatitis A virus was detected by dot hybridization in sewage-polluted estuarine, bayou and lake waters of coastal Texas.
