ABSTRACT:
The method consists of detecting an enteric virus in a test sample, where the detection of said enteric virus in said test sample indicates the existence of contamination. The method allows us to detect the presence or absence of enteric viruses in a test sample, and then to determine the existence of environmental contamination, especially faecal contamination of livestock origin, in the test sample and, therefore, the place where the test sample was taken. The characterisation and/or molecular or serological typification of the enteric virus detected and its comparison with that of other enteric viruses present in sources of contamination near to where the samples were taken for analysis, also allows us to identify the origin of said contamination.
