Seasonal and climate-related variations in norovirus and PMMoV detection in Vietnamese oysters

Norovirus, a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis, significantly impacts global health, especially in developing countries where foodborne and environmental transmission remain challenging. This study examines the occurrence and seasonality of norovirus genogroups I (GI) and II (GII), their inter-annual variation and the prevalence of pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) as a potential viral indicator in...

Mass distribution of PET and PC microplastics in the atmosphere of Tianjin, China

Microplastics (MPs) in the urban atmosphere have been widely reported. However, the distribution of urban atmospheric microplastics (AMPs) under the influence of the East Asia monsoon remains unknown. In this study, total suspended particle (TSP) samples were collected, and polyethene terephthalate (PET) and polycarbonate (PC) MPs concentrations were quantified using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry...
