| Resumen |
35 workers at a land application system involving low-pressure spray irrigation of cornfields with partially treated waste water were followed through a growing season to determine if they had an increased risk of infection when compared with 41 unexposed controls. Enteroviruses were recovered from the waste water used for irrigation but not from the air during spraying. There was no increase in clinical illness among the workers and no evidence of an increased risk of infection. Workers who cleaned the spray nozzles, and were at the greatest risk, had higher antibody levels to the enterovirus, coxsackievirus B5, but no acute symptomatic infections with viral excretion were found. Risk of infection among workers using partially treated waste water for agricultural purposes is limited. |
