近年来，水传播病原体对人类健康的影响日益受到关注。饮用水和娱乐性接触受污染的水已被证明与病毒感染有关，因为病毒在受感染者的粪便和呕吐物中大量脱落，并经常进入水环境。所有已查明的在水环境中构成重大公共卫生威胁的致病病毒都是通过粪口途径传播的。这组病毒统称为肠道病毒，它们可能对健康造成的影响包括胃肠炎、瘫痪、脑膜炎、肝炎、呼吸道疾病和腹泻。本文综述了过去和最近对地表沃茨病毒污染的调查，重点是六种潜在的水传播人类致病病毒。此外，还概述了病毒相关疾病的发病机制和传播途径。
In recent years, the impending impact of waterborne pathogens on human health has become a growing concern. Drinking water and recreational exposure to polluted water have shown to be linked to viral infections, since viruses are shed in extremely high numbers in the faeces and vomit of infected individuals and are routinely introduced into the water environment. All of the identified pathogenic viruses that pose a significant public health threat in the water environment are transmitted via the faecal-oral route. This group, are collectively known as enteric viruses, and their possible health effects include gastroenteritis, paralysis, meningitis, hepatitis, respiratory illness and diarrhoea. This review addresses both past and recent investigations into viral contamination of surface waters, with emphasis on six types of potential waterborne human pathogenic viruses. In addition, the viral associated illnesses are outlined with reference to their pathogenesis and routes of transmission.
