Since that time, other enteric viruses responsible for gastroenteritis and hepatitis have replaced enteroviruses as the main target for detection in the environment, although the near eradication of poliomyelitis from the globe calls for exhaustive studies on the occurrence of wild-type and vaccinal-type polioviruses in environmental samples. The possibility nowadays to detect the presence of human enteric viruses in different types of water samples and foodstuff, in particular shellfish samples, should be a valuable tool in the prevention of waterborne and food-borne diseases. These data suggest that temperature, and probably relative humidity, may be meaningful in the seasonal distribution of outbreaks of certain human enteric viruses (Enright, 1954) , due to the influence of these factors on virus persistence. ./cache/cord-018166-savdgy0u.txt ./txt/cord-018166-savdgy0u.txt
