Applying systems leadership and participatory action research in developing a water contamination management tool

Paul Grey, Silvana Bettiol, Wendy Quinn

Australian Journal of Rural Health > 31 > 1 > 70 - 79

Objective This research used systems leadership to explore stakeholder engagement regarding requirements, incentives and barriers to adopting a faecal source tracking method to identify contamination sources in surface waters. Setting The research comprised two branches, one quantitative, conducted in a food and water laboratory; the other qualitative, conducted within stakeholder organisations...

D.T. McCarthy, D. Jovanovic, A. Lintern, I. Teakle, more

Water Research > 2017 > 109 > C > 253-265

Urban estuaries around the world are experiencing contamination from diffuse and point sources, which increases risks to public health. To mitigate and manage risks posed by elevated levels of contamination in urban waterways, it is critical to identify the primary water sources of contamination within catchments. Source tracking using microbial community fingerprints is one tool that can be used...

Persistence of microbial and chemical pig manure markers as compared to faecal indicator bacteria survival in freshwater and seawater microcosms

O. Solecki, L. Jeanneau, E. Jardé, M. Gourmelon, more

Water Research > 2011 > 45 > 15 > 4623-4633

Natural seawater and freshwater microcosms inoculated with pig manure were set up to determine the persistence of pig faecal microbial and chemical markers in these two types of surface water. The concentrations of Lactobacillus amylovorus, the Bacteroidales Pig-2-Bac 16S rRNA genetic marker, five stanols and the evolution of two ratios of stanols, R ₁ (coprostanol to the sum of coprostanol...

Differential persistence of F-specific RNA phage subgroups hinders their use as single tracers for faecal source tracking in surface water

Maite Muniesa, Andrey Payan, Laura Moce-Llivina, Anicet R. Blanch, more

Water Research > 2009 > 43 > 6 > 1559-1564

The four subgroups of F-specific RNA bacteriophages (I–IV) have been proposed as potential tracers for faecal source tracking. Groups II and III predominate in human sources while groups I and IV are most abundant in animal sources. The four subgroups of naturally occurring F-specific RNA bacteriophages were identified in different samples by plaque hybridization with genotype-specific probes and...

Detection of virulence genes in Escherichia coli of an existing metabolic fingerprint database to predict the sources of pathogenic E. coli in surface waters

W. Ahmed, J. Tucker, K.A. Bettelheim, R. Neller, more

Water Research > 2007 > 41 > 16 > 3785-3791

A collection of 366 Escherichia coli strains from 10 host groups and surface waters were tested for the presence of 15 virulence genes associated with strains causing intestinal and extra-intestinal infections. The virulence genes included eaeA, VT1, 2 and 2e, LT1, ST1 and 2, Einv gene, EAgg gene, CNF1 and 2, papC, O111 and O157 side chain LPS. Of the 262 strains obtained from nine different hosts,...
