Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging waterborne virus endemic in regions with poor sanitation and hygiene, including large parts of Asia, Africa and South America. But there is little understanding of the effectiveness of water disinfection methods in the presence of HEV or HEV epidemiology and transmission routes. This project aims to produce, for the first time, consistent experimental tests on HEV stability against the main disinfection water treatments, filling a gap in virology and helping to develop standard operational protocols on water treatment in a Hepatitis E outbreak scenario. The final report provides information on the project methodology, activities, outputs, impact and dissemination of learning.
