Viral indicators of human-fecal contamination in wastewaters and environmental waters
have been getting much attention in the past decade. Cross-assembly phage (crAssphage) …

Fecal pollution, commonly detected in untreated or less treated sewage, is associated with
health risks (eg, waterborne diseases and antibiotic resistance dissemination), ecological …

Discharge of treated sewage leads to release of antibiotic resistant bacteria, resistance
genes and antibiotic residues to the environment. However, it is unclear whether increased …

SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic represents one of the greatest recent
threats to human health, wellbeing and economic growth. Wastewater-based epidemiology …

Crassvirales (crAss-like phages) are an abundant group of human gut-specific
bacteriophages discovered in silico. The use of crAss-like phages as human fecal indicators …

This study was conducted to evaluate the applicability of crAssphage, pepper mild mottle
virus (PMMoV), and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as indicators of the reduction of human …

The discharge of human-derived wastewater represents a major threat to water quality with
the potential for waterborne disease outbreaks mainly associated with enteric viruses. To …

The study assessed the performance characteristics of host sensitivity, host specificity and
concentration for seven human wastewater-and six animal scat-associated marker genes by …

Wastewater treatment plants are typically monitored using fecal indicator bacteria to ensure
adequate microbial water quality of the treated effluent. Fecal indicator bacteria exhibit poor …

Considerable efforts have been made in recent years in developing novel marker genes for
fecal pollution tracking in environmental waters. CrAssphage are recently discovered DNA …
