Tropical coastal waters are understudied, despite their ecological and economic importance.
They also reflect projected climate change scenarios for other climate zones, eg, increased …

Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) of human health risks using human fecal
marker genes (HFMGs) is an useful water quality management tool. To inform accurate …

The human gut bacteriophage crAssphage has been proposed as a human-specific
microbial source tracking (MST) marker for impacted water bodies. However, its global use …

This review examines the aims of and approaches to the Quantitative Microbial Risk
Assessment (QMRA) of untreated recreational waters. The literature search was conducted …

While sewage pollution is contributing to the global decline of coral reefs, its offshore extent
and direct reef impacts from water column mixing and benthic seeps are poorly documented …
