title = "Bacteriophages – what are they and why they might be an appropriate new indicator for fecal contamination of recreational waters",
abstract = "Coliphages are viruses than infect coliform bacteria and are always present in domestic wastewater. Because many are the same size, shape and resistant to sewage treatment processes as human enteric pathogens they have long been proposed as indicators of fecal pollution and the presence of enteric viruses in water. Research is underway to better understand the removal of coliphages by sewage treatment processes and their relationship to the removal of human pathogenic enteric viruses.",
