The journal Food and Environmental Virology publishes original articles, notes and reviews on research relating to the transmission of pathogenic viruses via the environment (water, air, soil etc.) and foods. This includes epidemiological studies, identification of novel and emerging pathogens, methods of analysis or characterization, studies on survival and elimination, and development of procedural controls for industrial processes, including HACCP plans. The journal encompasses studies on human, animal, and plant pathogenic viruses which are capable of transmission via the environment or food. Coverage includes Epidemiology; Routes of transmission; Viruses in water treatment plants; Detection of waterborne, foodborne and airborne viruses; Risk Assessment; Modular process risk models; Survival of viruses in the environment and foods; Transport of viruses through soils; Elimination procedures for food and environmental application; Procedural controls and Personal protective efforts.

Enteroviruses (EVs) and Hepatitis A Viruses (HAVs) are human pathogens with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. The monitoring of sewage samples enables to monitor the EVs and HAVs in circulation among the general population and recognize possible outbreaks. This study focused on the molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the EVs and HAVs identified in 33 sewage samples collected...

Wastewater represents the main reusable water source after being adequately sanitized by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In this sense, only bacterial quality indicators are usually checked to this end, and human pathogenic viruses usually escape from both sanitization procedures and controls, posing a health risk on the use of effluent waters. In this study, we evaluated a protocol based on...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a zoonotic virus that can cause acute hepatitis in humans. Besides the fecal–oral route, transmission can occur by consumption of undercooked pig liver. Genotype 3 is the most frequent genotype found in Europe. Studies on HEV in slaughter-age pigs have not been conducted in Serbia so far. Pork meat production and consumption in Serbia is on average, higher than in the rest...
