Abstract:
This study aimed to determine enteroviruses using different PCR methods and also studying the effect of ethanolic extract of Nigella Sativa on isolated viruses in vitro. we performed reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), nested PCR and cell culture-PCR followed by real time PCR to monitor the occurrence of enteric viruses in in 23 samples collected from irrigation water sites in El-Giza and El-Menofya Governorates from March 2017 to May 2017; fourteen samples from five rural sites in El-Menofya which no sanitation systems service these regions and nine samples from three urban sites in El-Giza served by sanitation systems were investigated. The comparison of the detection techniques was involved in study. The highly detected virus was Adenoviruses followed by rotaviruses then Noroviruses. Presence of sanitation systems may affect the frequency of enteric viruses in irrigation water. Rotaviruses were the most frequent viruses isolated from the diarrheal samples followed by adenoviruses and finally noroviruses. Considerable reduction of genome copies and infectious units of both rotavirus Wa strain and adenovirus type 7 was observed by treatment with ethanolic extract of Nigella Sativa in vitro.
