Optimization of the detection of enteric viruses in mussels by real-time PCR / RT-PCR.

Abstract

Enteric viruses, including adenovirus, norovirus, and rotavirus, represent a significant threat to public health due to their potential to cause foodborne illnesses. The aim of this study was to enhance the sensitivity of the method ISO 15216-2:2019, by introducing an additional virus concentration step based on polyethylene glycol precipitation followed by a centrifugation.
