These viruses are responsible for gastro-enteritis, but also poliomyelitis (Poliovirus) and aseptic meningitis (Coxsackie Virus) in children. In adults, infections due to enterovirus are myocarditis, pericarditis or arrythmias. Their mode of transmission is via the feco-oral route, and poor water quality. After excretion in human stool, due to their structural properties, enteroviruses can resist to different physical and chemical treatments.
ENTEROVIRUS FOOD POISONINGAdsorbed on particles, enteroviruses can survive in different kind of environment for a long period. Food can be contaminated by a food-handler during the various stages of food production or via the environment. Thanks to their structural properties, enteroviruses can persit to different food processes. The consumption of contaminated food can lead to outbreaks in population.METHODS OF CHOICE FOR enterovirus DETECTIONThe diagnostic by cellular culture or ELISA is not adapted to the detection of enteroviruses in environmental or food samples. Molecular techniques (real time RT-PCR) are the methods of choice for enteroviruses detection after extraction and viral RNA purification from the sample.CEERAMTOOLS MOLECULAR DETECTION SYSTEM (TEST KITS) ALSO AVAILABLE FOR :Mengo - Norovirus GI - Rotavirus - Astrovirus - Adenovirus - HepatitisA - Aichi - Circovirus - Brachyspira - Cryptosporidium - Giardia - Norovirus GII
