Abstract

A TaqMan quantitative PCR (QPCR) assay is developed and optimized based on the conserved T antigen in order to quantify and detect two human polyomaviruses (HPyVs), JC virus and BK virus. The use of this quantitative assay in water quality research might help regulatory agencies in identifying sources of water pollution for improved remediation of contaminated waters and thus protecting humans from exposure to pathogens.

Abstract

A method developed to concentrate and extract human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) DNA, which are used as indicators of human fecal pollution, from environmental water samples and to amplify it by nested PCR is presented. The sensitivity, specificity and correlation with other human-associated markers have indicated that the HPyV assay can be a useful predictor of human fecal pollution in environmental waters and an important component of the microbial-source-tracking toolbox.
