Abstract excerpt
A real-time, reverse transcription-PCR (RT-qPCR) assay was developed to differentiate the four genogroups of male-specific ssRNA coliphages (FRNA) (family Leviviridae). As FRNA display a trend of source-specificity (human sewage or animal waste) at the genogroup level, this assay provides a tool to help identify the origin of fecal contamination. Primers and probes were designed using complete genomic sequences...
