Sunlight inactivation of somatic coliphage in the presence of natural organic matter

Science of The Total Environment, 2016
Long wavelengths of sunlight spectrum (UVA and visible light), as well as natural organic matter (NOM) are important environmental factors affecting survival of viruses in aquatic environment through direct and indirect inactivation. In order to understand the virus inactivation kinetics under such conditions, this study investigated the effects of ...

Somatic coliphages as bioindicators of contamination in Lake Guamuez, Colombia

Canadian Journal of Microbiology
Lake Guamuez is the second largest lake in Colombia and economically supports hundreds of families in the area. The main activities carried out in the region have focused on tourism, agriculture, livestock, and rainbow trout production; however, these activities have been associated with contamination of the lake.

Somatic Coliphage Profiles of Produce and Environmental Samples from Farms in Northern México

Food and Environmental Virology, 2016
Somatic coliphages were quantified in 459 produce and environmental samples from 11 farms in Northern Mexico to compare amounts of somatic coliphages among different types of fresh produce and environmental samples across the production steps on farms.

Male-Specific and Somatic Coliphage Profiles from Major Aquaculture Areas in Republic of Korea

Food and Environmental Virology, 2020
Human and animal feces are important sources of various types of microbial contamination in water. Especially, enteric viruses, the major agents of waterborne infection, can attain long-term survival in water environments due to their strong resistance to various environmental factors including pH, salinity, and temperature.

Somatic Coliphages as an Operational Tool to Assess Loss of Bathing Water Quality after Heavy Rain Events [PDF]

open access: yesWater Research
Rapid population growth and coastal development has led to increased fecal contamination of coastal surface waters worldwide, enhancing the potential risk of waterborne human pathogens in bathing areas.

Detection of FRNA coliphages in groundwater: interference with the assay by somatic salmonella bacteriophages

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 1994
Groundwater samples from two sites in Alabama, USA were plaque assayed for F-specific RNA (FRNA) coliphages using Salmonella typhimurium WG49 as the host bacterium. While numerous plaques were detected with WG49 (a strain possessing Escherichia coli F pili), plaques were also observed with an F- control strain of Salm. typhimurium.

Somatic and F-specific coliphages in New Zealand waste treatment lagoons

Water Research, 1995
Abstract Three coliphages (FRNA, FDNA and somatic) and three bacterial indicators (faecal coliforms, Escherichia coli and enterococci) were measured in four waster-treatment lagoons over 10 months. Two of the lagoons treated domestic sewage; the third, meat processing waste and the fourth, meat processing waste with a minor sewage component.

Development of a feasible method to extract somatic coliphages from sludge, soil and treated biowaste

Journal of Virological Methods, 2007
Extraction of viruses and bacteriophages from sludge, soil and treated biowaste requires homogenization, elution, clarification and detoxification-decontamination steps. Seeding these matrixes with bacteriophages does not reproduce what happens in nature.

Indigenous somatic coliphage removal from a real municipal wastewater by a submerged membrane bioreactor

Water Research, 2010
The membrane bioreactor (MBR) features many advantages, such as its excellent effluent quality and compactness. Moreover, the MBR is well known for its disinfectant capacity. This paper investigates virus removal performance for municipal wastewater using a submerged MBR and the operational conditions affecting the virus removal using indigenous ...
