title: Quantification and genetic analysis of salivirus/klassevirus in wastewater in Arizona, USA.
abstract: Salivirus/klassevirus sequences were identified in 7 (15%) wastewater samples collected in Arizona monthly for a year, with the highest concentration of 2.28 × 10(5) and 2.46 × 10(4) copies/L in influent and effluent, respectively. This is the first report of quantification and genetic analysis of salivirus/klassevirus in water samples in the United States.
