Coliphages and Gastrointestinal Illness in Recreational Waters

, 2017
BackgroundColiphages have been proposed as indicators of fecal contamination in recreational waters because they better mimic the persistence of pathogenic viruses in the environment and wastewater treatment than fecal indicator bacteria.

Hepatitis E virus and coliphages in waters proximal to swine concentrated animal feeding operations

, 2015
North Carolina is the second leading state in pork production in the United States, with over 10 million swine. Swine manure in NC is typically collected and stored in open-pit lagoons before the liquid waste is sprayed onto agricultural fields for ...

Use of coliphages to evaluate water treatment processes and determine faecal contamination origin of source waters

, 2013
Viral indicators were used to evaluate the effectiveness of water treatment processes and to determine the source of faecal pollution with a view to promote water source management.

Occurrence and correlations between coliphages and anthropogenic viruses in the Massachusetts Bay using enrichment and ICC-nPCR

, 2005
We evaluated a two-step enrichment procedure to detect coliphages and an integrated cell culture-nested polymerase chain reaction (ICC-nPCR) to detect human astrovirus, enteroviruses, rotavirus and adenovirus type 40 and 41 in marine water samples ...

Male Specific Coliphages as an Indicator of Fecal Contamination of Drinking Waters and as Model Organisms for the Reduction of Viruses by Water Treatment Processes

, 1990
This study field-tested a new membrane filter method (MF) for the enumeration of F-specific RNA coliphages in source waters and treated drinking waters to assess the potential use of these organisms as a viral indicator.

The Influences of Green Infrastructure on Levels of Somatic and Male-Specific Coliphages and E. Coli at Shadyside Park

, 2021
During the summer of 2019, Plaster Creek Stewards executed a green infrastructure project that proceeded with development of a floodplain at Shadyside park with the purpose to reduce the flow rate of Plaster Creek and prevent the occurrence of erosion ...

Detection of somatic phages, infectious enteroviruses and enterovirus genomes as indicators of human enteric viral pollution in surface water

, 2003
International audienceIn the present study, we aimed to determine whether the concentrations of somatic coliphages, infectious enteroviruses or the detection of enterovirus genomes were associated with the detection of human pathogenic viruses in surface

Innovative Strategy Using Alternative Fecal Indicators (F+RNA/Somatic Coliphages, Clostridium perfringens) to Detect Cesspool Discharge Pollution in Streams and Receiving Coastal Waters Within a Tropical Environment

, 2011
Standards based on fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) have traditionally been used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to determine when recreational waters are contaminated by fecal and sewage inputs.
