      wastewater treatment plant, drain, and River Nile in Egypt.

AB  - Wastewater plays a major role in water pollution causing transmission of several 
      viral pathogens, including Aichi virus (AiV) and human bocavirus (HBoV), 
      associated with gastrointestinal illness in humans. In this study, we 
      investigated the presence of AiV and HBoV in aquatic, sludge, sediment matrices 
      collected from Abu-Rawash wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), El-Rahawy drain, 
      Rosetta branch of the River Nile in Egypt by conventional polymerase chain 
      reaction (PCR). AiV RNA was detected in 16.6% (2/12), 8.3% (1/12), 8.3% (1/12), 
      22% (16/72), 12.5% (3/24), 4% (1/24), and 0/24 (0%) of untreated raw sewage, 
      treated sewage, sewage sludge, drainage water, drain sediment, river water, and 
      river sediment, respectively. On the other hand, HBoV DNA was detected in 41.6% 
      (5/12), 25% (3/12), 16.6% (2/12), 48.6% (35/72), 29% (7/24), 3/24 (12.5%), 4% 
      (1/24) of untreated raw sewage, treated raw sewage, sewage sludge, drainage 
      water, drain sediment, river water, and river sediment, respectively. This study 
      provides data on the presence of these viruses in various types of water samples 
      that are valuable to environmental risk assessment. In addition, the current 
      study demonstrates the importance of environmental monitoring as an additional 
      tool to investigate the epidemiology of AiV and HBoV circulating in a given 
      community.
