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 ...

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 ...

New approach for the simultaneous detection of somatic coliphages and F-specific RNA coliphages as indicators of fecal pollution [PDF]
Science of the Total Environment, 2019 Two groups of coliphages have been recently included in different water management policies as indicators of viral fecal pollution in water and food: somatic coliphages, which infect E. coli through cell wall receptors, and F-specific RNA coliphages, which infect through the F-pili.

Bluephage, a method for efficient detection of somatic coliphages in one hundred milliliter water samples. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractEmerging water quality guidelines and regulations require the absence of somatic coliphages in 100 mL of water, yet the efficiency of standardized methods to test this volume of sample is questionable. A recently described procedure, Bluephage, using a modifiedE.

Recovery of somatic coliphages in shellfish
Water Science and Technology, 1995 A phage recovery technique is described that is shown to be easy to perform and sensitive. It is efficient in detecting somatic coliphages in mussels artificially contaminated, even at very low levels. Good results are also reported for detection and enumeration of naturally occurring coliphages in mussels and cockles from the French Atlantic coast.

Somatic coliphages are conservative indicators of SARS-CoV-2 inactivation during heat and alkaline pH treatments [PDF]
Science of the Total Environment, 2021 High concentrations of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome have been described in wastewater and sewage sludge. It raises the question of the security of land sludge disposal practices during a pandemic.

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

Enteric viruses, somatic coliphages and Vibrio species in marine bathing and non-bathing waters in Italy [PDF]
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019 Microbial safety of recreational waters is a significant public health issue. In this study we assessed the occurrence and quantity of enteric viruses in bathing and non-bathing waters in Italy, in parallel with microbial faecal indicators, somatic coliphages and Vibrio spp.

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

Is the replication of somatic coliphages in water environments significant? [PDF]
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2009 Somatic coliphages are amid several groups of bacteriophages that have been suggested as indicators in water quality assessment. One of the limitations frequently endorsed to somatic coliphages as indicators is that they can replicate in the water environment. This review intends to evaluate the significance of this potential replication.
