Molecular Typing of Somatic Coliphage Groups and Their Occurrence and Survival in Sewage

Applied Microbiology
A conventional, group-specific PCR method was developed to identify each of the four previously defined major taxa (Myoviridae, Siphoviridae, Podoviridae and Microviridae) of somatic coliphages and used to classify isolates from sewage. Somatic coliphage

Comparison of somatic and F+ coliphage enumeration methods with large volume surface water samples [PDF]

Journal of Virological Methods, 2018
Coliphages are alternative fecal indicators that may be suitable surrogates for viral pathogens, but majority of standard detection methods utilize insufficient volumes for routine detection in environmental waters. We compared three somatic and F+ coliphage methods based on a paired measurement from 1 L samples collected from the Great Lakes (n = 74).

The Effect of Protozoa Indigenous to Lakewater and Wastewater on Decay of Fecal Indicator Bacteria and Coliphage [PDF]

Pathogens, 2023
Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB: Escherichia coli and enterococci) are used to assess recreational water quality. Viral indicators (i.e., somatic and F+ coliphage), could improve the prediction of viral pathogens in recreational waters, however, the impact

Coliphages as viral indicators of sanitary significance for drinking water [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Coliphages are virus that infect coliform bacteria and are used in aquatic systems for risk assessment for human enteric viruses. This mini-review appraises the types and sources of coliphage and their fate and behavior in source waters and engineered ...

Occurrence of male-specific and somatic coliphages and relationship with rainfall in privately-owned wells from peri‑urban and rural households [PDF]

Water Research X, 2021
Privately-owned drinking water wells serving fewer than 25 people (private wells) are prevalent and understudied across most of the US. Private wells primarily serve rural households located outside of municipal drinking water and sewerage service ...

Flow Virometry in Wastewater Monitoring: Comparison of Virus-like Particles to Coliphage, Pepper Mild Mottle Virus, CrAssphage, and Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus [PDF]

Viruses
Flow virometry (FVM) offers a promising approach for monitoring viruses and virus-like particles (VLPs) in environmental samples. This study compares levels of non-specific VLPs across a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) with levels of somatic coliphage,

Incidence of somatic and F+ coliphage in Great Lake Basin recreational waters [PDF]

Water Research, 2018
There is a growing interest for the use of coliphage as an alternative indicator to assess fecal pollution in recreational waters. Coliphage are a group of viruses that infect Escherichia coli and are considered as potential surrogates to infer the likely presence of enteric viral pathogens.

Decay of infectious adenovirus and coliphages in freshwater habitats is differentially affected by ambient sunlight and the presence of indigenous protozoa communities [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2020
Background Sanitary quality of recreational waters worldwide is assessed using fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), such as Escherichia coli and enterococci. However, fate and transport characteristics of FIB in aquatic habitats can differ from those of viral

Modeling the photoinactivation and transport of somatic and F-specific coliphages at a Great Lakes beach. [PDF]

J Environ Qual, 2020
AbstractFecal indicator organisms (FIOs), such as Escherichia coli and enterococci, are often used as surrogates of contamination in the context of beach management; however, bacteriophages may be more reliable indicators than FIO due to their similarity to viral pathogens in terms of size and persistence in the environment.
