In this review article, current guidelines for designing wastewater reclamation and reuse systems from the viewpoint of virus risk management are overviewed, and the efficiency of virus removal from wastewater by currently employed wastewater treatment units are shown by the results of meta-analysis. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) (2012) guideline explicitly notes that setting a tolerable virus concentration in reclaimed wastewater (virus limit) is not recommended for the following reasons: 1) viruses are well reduced by appropriate wastewater treatments, 2) identification and enumeration of viruses is time-and labor-consuming, 3) detection of infectious viruses in water is further labor-and time-consuming, 4) molecular-based virus detection does not always indicate the presence of infectious viruses, and 5) waterborne viral infections due to reclaimed water have not been documented. ./cache/cord-279798-b5tduubu.txt ./txt/cord-279798-b5tduubu.txt
