Abstract
Context
The emergence of new methods for the analysis of environmental samples, such as massive parallel sequencing, creates a unique opportunity for studying the spread of viral nucleic acids in the environment.
Aims
The purpose of the article was to evaluate the diversity of ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequences of coronaviruses in the sample of water collected in the Small Aral Sea.
Methods
Nucleic acid sequencing of water samples collected from the Small Aral Sea was performed to assess diversity and spread of viruses.
Key results
A surprisingly high content of RNA fragments from coronaviruses was shown in aqueous samples. The presence of a wide variety of virus hosts from rodents and bats to mammals and humans was detected. Taxonomic classification of metagenomic data obtained after sequencing of nucleic acids of the Small Aral Sea samples showed the presence of coronaviruses RNA fragments of different genera.
Conclusions
This study showed that water samples from environmental sites can be used to assess the distribution and diversity of RNA fragments of coronaviruses. Continued monitoring of water samples could help establish a surveillance system for the early detection and monitoring of coronaviruses.
Implications
On the basis of the obtained results, it is hypothesised that the analysis of viromes and microbiomes creates new opportunities for studying the spread of viruses in the environment, which is a necessary fact for the development of possible anti-epidemic measures.
期刊介绍:
Marine and Freshwater Research is an international and interdisciplinary journal publishing contributions on all aquatic environments. The journal’s content addresses broad conceptual questions and investigations about the ecology and management of aquatic environments. Environments range from groundwaters, wetlands and streams to estuaries, rocky shores, reefs and the open ocean. Subject areas include, but are not limited to: aquatic ecosystem processes, such as nutrient cycling; biology; ecology; biogeochemistry; biogeography and phylogeography; hydrology; limnology; oceanography; toxicology; conservation and management; and ecosystem services. Contributions that are interdisciplinary and of wide interest and consider the social-ecological and institutional issues associated with managing marine and freshwater ecosystems are welcomed.
Marine and Freshwater Research is a valuable resource for researchers in industry and academia, resource managers, environmental consultants, students and amateurs who are interested in any aspect of the aquatic sciences.
Marine and Freshwater Research is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
