Abstract
The viral etiology of outbreaks of water-borne disease is epidemiologically difficult to prove, and evidence is limited to a small fraction of the many types of human pathogenic viruses found in water (IAWPRC Study Group on Water Virology 1983). In spite of this, there is a growing concern with the virological quality of water. Classical bacterial indicators of sewage pollution have not always been adequate, and infectious virus has been found in water samples meeting coliform standards (Deetz et al. 1984)
