Bacteriophages are an attractive alternative to faecal indicator bacteria (FIB), particularly as
surrogates of enteric virus fate and transport, due to their closer morphological and …

This study was carried out in order to investigate human enteric virus contaminants in
mussels from three sites on the west coast of Sweden, representing a gradient of …

Life history theory accounts for variations in many traits involved in the reproduction and
survival of living organisms, by determining the constraints leading to trade-offs among …

A German mining lake and the supplying surface waters, which are located downstream of a
sewage plant, were examined regarding their microbiological and virological quality …

The effects of different sewage treatments on the viral contamination in rivers which receive
water from treatment plants without a final sand filtration step were investigated. They were …

Somatic coliphages, F-specific RNA bacteriophages, bacteriophages infecting Bacteroides
fragilis, Escherichia coli and enterococci were counted in bathing waters in the late spring …

Aims: The removal and inactivation of faecal coliform (FC) bacteria, enterococci (ENT),
sulphite‐reducing clostridia (SRC), somatic coliphages, F‐specific RNA bacteriophages and …

A small, well-defined watershed was investigated over a 2-year period to determine the
prevalence of F-specific RNA coliphage (F+ RNA) serotypes as indicators of animal fecal …

The quality control of wastewater treatments was monitored using selected novel and
classical physicochemical and microbiological indicators, and the associations of the …
