Surface plasmon resonance assay for real-time monitoring of somatic coliphages in wastewaters. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2008 ABSTRACT The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique is a well-established method for the measurement of molecules binding to surfaces and the quantification of binding constants between surface-immobilized proteins and proteins in solution.

Capsid Integrity Detection of Enteric Viruses in Reclaimed Waters [PDF]
VirusesClimate change, unpredictable weather patterns, and droughts are depleting water resources in some parts of the globe, where recycling and reusing wastewater is a strategy for different purposes. To counteract this, the EU regulation for water reuse sets

“Navigating Healthy Waters”: monitoring ship wastewater as a key defense against infectious diseases—a pilot study on a Mediterranean seaport [PDF]
Frontiers in Public HealthWastewater-based surveillance represents a non-invasive approach to monitor pathogen circulation, but data on cruise ships are scarce, although this enclosed environment is prone to infectious diseases spreading.

npj Clean WaterSomatic coliphages are recognized reliable indicators of faecal contamination in water. Their routine monitoring relies on time-consuming, labour-demanding culture-based methods, which are limited to detecting total somatic coliphages. Here, we developed

Comparative performance of activated sludge and waste stabilization ponds for the removal of pollutants and pathogens in full-scale wastewater treatment plants in Egypt [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe discharge of inadequately treated wastewater poses serious public health and environmental risks worldwide. In this study, the performance of two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) was evaluated for their ability to remove pathogenic viruses and ...

Concentration and quantification of somatic and F+ coliphages from recreational waters
Journal of Virological Methods, 2017 Somatic and F+ coliphages are promising alternative fecal indicators, but current detection methods are hindered by lower levels of coliphages in surface waters compared to traditional bacterial fecal indicators. We evaluated the ability of dead-end hollow fiber ultrafiltration (D- HFUF) and single agar layer (SAL) procedure to concentrate and ...

Human adenovirus-associated health risk in the recreational waters of the Yal-ku lagoon in the Mexican Caribbean [PDF]
Journal of Water and HealthThe study objective was to evaluate human faecal contamination impacts in the Yal-ku lagoon in the Mexican Caribbean and to estimate adenovirus infection and illness risks associated with recreational exposure during water activities. A total of 20 water

Simultaneous detection of somatic and F-specific coliphages in different settings byEscherichia colistrain CB390 [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2016 Bacteriophages are increasingly being used as water quality indicators. Two groups of phages infecting Escherichia coli, somatic and F-specific coliphages, are being considered as indicators of fecal and viral contamination for several types of water around the world. However, some uncertainties remain regarding which coliphages to assess. Recently, E.

The contribution of induction of temperate phages to the numbers of free somatic coliphages in waters is not significant [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2007 Somatic coliphages have been proposed as indicators of water quality. But several factors have been considered a drawback for their use as indicators. We evaluated the contribution of temperate phages to the numbers of somatic coliphages detected in water by ISO (International Standards Organization) standardised methods.

In situ replication studies of somatic and male-specific coliphages in a tropical pristine river
Water Science and Technology, 1995 The present study was carried out in order to evaluate coliphage survival and their ability to replicate in tropical aquatic environments. Results showed that coliphages survived for extended periods of time, however, neither sewage isolates nor laboratory phage strains replicated in the environment.
