Weekly Variation of Rotavirus A Concentrations in Sewage and Oysters in Japan, 2014-2016

Concentrations of rotavirus A, in sewage and oysters collected weekly from September 2014 to April 2016 in Japan, were investigated using RT-qPCR; results showed up to 6.5 log copies/mL and 4.3 log copies/g of digestive tissue (DT) in sewage and oysters, respectively. No correlation was found betwee...
