Viral pollution determination of superficial waters (river water and sea-water) from the urban area of Barcelona (Spain)
TLDR
In this article, various surface water systems in the metropolitan area of Barcelona (Spain), including two rivers and three beaches, were analysed for human viruses using glass powder as adsorbent to concentrate them.About:

Bacteriophages active against Bacteroides fragilis in sewage-polluted waters.
C. Tartera,Joan Jofre +1 more
TL;DR: Using Bacteroides fragilis HSP 40 as the host, which proved to be the most efficient for the detection of phages, feces from humans and several animal species and raw sewage, river water, water from lagoons, seawater, groundwater, and sediments, there was a high degree of strain specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enteroviruses and bacteriophages in bathing waters.
TL;DR: In situ inactivation experiments showed that viruses persisted significantly longer than the bacterial indicators, and somatic coliphages show a very good potential to predict the risk of viruses being present in bathing waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Faecal streptococci as faecal pollution indicators: A review. Part II: Sanitary significance, survival, and use
TL;DR: Although reported results vary widely, most studies indicate that faecal streptococci outlive Faecal coliforms in receiving waters and are more resistant to sunlight‐induced inactivation.

Occurrence of Salmonella spp in estuarine and coastal waters of Portugal.
Lídia Dionísio,M. Joao,V. Soares Ferreiro,M. Leonor Fidalgo,M. Esther García Rosado,Juan J. Borrego +5 more
TL;DR: No significant correlations were obtained between Salmonella and the indicators at the sampling stations; however, total coliforms and fecal streptococci were the indicators most closely related to Salmoneella in Caminha and Faro samples, respectively.
RESEARCH NOTE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SALMONELLA spp AND INDICATOR MICROORGANISMS IN POLLUTED NATURAL WATERS
TL;DR: The relationship between Salmonella spp and indicator microorganisms was investigated in three different aquatic environments affected by wastewater discharges as mentioned in this paper, and the results indicated that the statistical correlations obtained depended, basically, on the source of faecal discharges.

Standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater
TL;DR: The most widely read reference in the water industry, Water Industry Reference as discussed by the authors, is a comprehensive reference tool for water analysis methods that covers all aspects of USEPA-approved water analysis.

Stability of human enteroviruses in estuarine and marine waters.
S Lo,J Gilbert,F Hetrick +2 more
TL;DR: In situ studies on virus survival in free-flowing estuarine or marine waters showed that, although the viruses were more labile in natural waters than in the laboratory studies, they persisted for several months, in some cases during the winter months.

Natural Virus Inactivation Processes in Seawater
TL;DR: In this article, the antiviral properties of seawater have been found associated with specific marine bacteria associated with a specific species of bacteria. But they did not identify the specific species.
