Rotaviruses are amongst the most dangerous enteric microorganisms. The mortality rate due to rotaviral infections all over the world varies from four to five million deaths every year. Rotaviruses are responsible for the occurrence of severe diarrhea, which is particularly dangerous in infants, young children, elderly subjects and transplant patients. The reported study concentrates on two major items: the environment where rotaviruses are detected (untreated and treated sewage, sewage sludge, surface water, groundwater, water used for recreational needs, drinking water), and the pathway of rotavirus migration from the source of contamination to the system of tap water supply. Of the waterborne enteric viruses, rotaviruses are characterized by the highest infectivity. And this calls for special precautions and safety measures, primarily for a strict hygiene regimen, for efficacious disinfectants, and for the application of efficient sewage treatment trains. A prerequisite to achieve these goals is to make the public alert to any possible dangers resulting from rotaviral infections.
