Review: Indicator bacteriophages in sludge, biosolids, sediments and soils.

Assessment of the Accuracy of A Method Used for Quantification of Ascaris Eggs in Sewage Sludge

The application of sewage sludge on arable and grassland soils is dependent on the assurance that the concentrations of pathogens present in the biosolids do not pose health risks to either…

Pathogens and indicators in United States Class B biosolids: national and historic distributions.

In general, the bacterial indicators total and fecal coliforms decreased from the 1980s to present, illustrating that the Part 503 Rule has been effective in reducing public exposure to pathogens relative to 17 yr ago.

Removal of pathogenic bacteria from sewage-treated effluent and biosolids for agricultural purposes

The reuse of treated sewage for irrigation is considered as an important alternative water source in the new water management strategy of the countries that face a severe deficiency of water…

Determining pathogen and indicator levels in class B municipal organic residuals used for land application.

High concentrations of enteric pathogens (e.g.,, , and HAdV) are present in biosolids throughout the United States, and microbial densities found can further assist management and policymakers in establishing more accurate risk assessment models associated with land application of Class B biosOLids.

Human-specific bacteriophages in sediments : a novel approach to waterborne hazard identification

The findings suggest that the application of low-cost monitoring approaches to analyse river sediments may not only provide a better assessment of dominant pollution sources than grab samples of overlying water, but that they may also provide a a better indication of potential risks to health from human enteric viruses.

Molecular pathogen detection in biosolids with a focus on quantitative PCR using propidium monoazide for viable cell enumeration.

Parasitological Contamination of Urban Sludge Used for Agricultural Purposes

Sludge re-use in agriculture has increased in many countries, but this practice must be associated with a knowledge of the pathogens present in these sludges, and viable eggs in concentration higher than or equal to 10 eggs per 100 g of dry matter are needed.

Detection of parasites in the environment.

The advances identified in non-destructive and destructive methods for the protozoa have application for helminths and emerging pathogens and should determine the importance of the matrices involved in the environmental transmission of parasites, further safeguarding public and veterinary health.

Hazards from pathogenic microorganisms in land-disposed sewage sludge.

The application of recombinant DNA technology (gene probes and polymerase chain reaction) to environmental samples may provide increased sensitivity for detecting specific pathogens in land-disposed sludge and greatly improved risk assessment models for the authors' exposure to these sources of pathogens.
