Cost-effective Method for Microbial Source Tracking Using Specific Human and Animal Viruses
3 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Microbial contamination of the environment represents a significant health risk. Classical bacterial fecal indicators have shown to have significant limitations, viruses are more resistant to many inactivation processes and standard fecal indicators do not inform on the source of contamination. The development of cost-effective methods for the concentration of viruses from water and molecular assays facilitates...
