In tropical to temperate environments, fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), such as enterococci and
Escherichia coli, can persist and potentially multiply, far removed from their natural reservoir …

Human activities have significantly impacted the environment and are changing our climate
in ways that will have major consequences for ourselves, and endanger animal, plant and …

Many countries including EU Member States (EUMS) and the United States (US) regularly
