本研究的目的是（1）在环境样品中寻找爱知病毒，（2）比较临床和环境样品中的爱知病毒株，以评估环境污染作为病毒传播媒介的作用。在15份（6%）污水样品和4份（6.6%）贝类样品中检测到爱知病毒。首次在水样中发现爱知病毒。系统发育分析揭示了几个集群，发生顺序的时间，这表明一些平行的环境和人类菌株的进化。污水中存在的爱知病毒反映了在社区中传播的病毒。
The aims of our investigations were (1) to look for Aichi virus in environmental samples and (2) to compare the Aichi virus strains in both clinical and environmental samples in order to evaluate the role of environmental contamination as a possible vehicle for viral transmission. Aichi virus was detected in 15 (6%) sewage samples and in 4 (6.6%) shellfish samples. Aichi virus was identified for the first time in water samples. Phylogenetic analysis revealed several clusters that occurred sequentially in time, suggesting some parallelism in the evolution of environmental and human strains. Aichi virus present in sewage reflects the viruses circulating in the community.
