Abstract

Enteric viruses excreted in high concentrations in the feces of infected individuals are the main target of investigations in environmental virology. The discharge of those agents in different environmental matrices represents a risk of infection for the population through several routes of infection, particularly in countries where sanitation is deficient. Studies in environmental virology were initiated in the beginning of the year 1940 and still present many challenges, related not only to methodologies and establishment of parameters but also to the use of such studies as a tool for public policies. This chapter is a short review of the progress made in the area featuring the contributions of work conducted in Latin America to solidify the progress of knowledge in the region.
