Unlabelled: Enteric viruses are important causative agents of human diseases. Among the enteric viruses, reoviruses and enteroviruses are prevalent in various aquatic environments. This study was carried out to detect and compare the presence of reoviruses and enteroviruses by ICC-PCR in one wastewater and three drinking water treatment plants, studying the possibility of using reoviruses as indicator of viral water pollution and genotyping of the isolated strains. One hundred and forty four drinking water and 76 wastewater samples were collected for two years. Reoviruses and enteroviruses were detected in 12.5% (18/144) and 8.3% (12/144) of total collected drinking water samples. In the studied wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), reoviruses were detected in 26% (20/76) of total collected samples while enteroviruses were detected in 21% (16/76) of the total collected samples. Phylogenic analysis revealed that our sequences were closely related to reovirus type 1, Lang strain and Human poliovirus type1.
Conclusion: The higher incidence of reoviruses than enteroviruses reflects the possibility of using reoviruses as indicator of water pollution.

Article Synopsis
- Duck hepatitis A virus 3 (DHAV-3) and a new virus called novel duck reovirus (NDRV) are causing big problems for duck farmers around the world.
- A new testing method called DRCFS combines two techniques in one tube to quickly find both viruses without making a mess.
- This method is super easy to use and can get results in about 35 minutes, helping farmers catch these viruses early and protect their ducks!

Free-living amoebae (FLA) are ubiquitous protozoa in aquatic/soil habitats and known to resist various disinfection methods commonly used in drinking and wastewater treatment plants. Reoviruses are emerging as useful infectious enteric virus indicators of wastewater treatment efficacy. The possible enhanced protection FLA may provide reoviruses, however, has not been previously described.

: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have dramatically improved the outcome for cancer patients across multiple tumor types. However the response rates to ICI monotherapy remain relatively low, in part due to some tumors cultivating an inherently 'cold' immune microenvironment. Oncolytic viruses (OV) have the capability to promote a 'hotter' immune microenvironment which can improve the efficacy of ICI.
