Summary Document: Waterborne Microbial Pathogens in the Great Lakes
نویسنده
چکیده
This document provides a summary of recent materials developed for the International Joint Commission (IJC) on waterborne microbial pathogens in the Great Lakes region. These materials include reports to the Scientific Advisory Board on waterborne pathogens as well as four white papers that discuss societal influences on microbial pathogens, monitoring of pathogens, and management tools. Although some of the information in this summary has been excerpted from these source documents, I have tried to provide a comprehensive view of the issues concerning waterborne microbial pathogens in the Great Lakes.

Microbiological assessment of ambient waters and proposed water sources for restoration of a Florida wetland.
This study evaluated the microbial quality of reclaimed and storm water as proposed sources for restoration of a Florida wetland. Bacterial indicators, bacteriophages and waterborne pathogenic microorganisms (Cryptosporidium, Giardia and infectious enteric viruses) were analysed during a 1-year period in order to determine potential public health risks associated with exposure to the proposed w...
متن کاملWhere future emerging pathogens will come from and what approaches can be used to find them, besides VFARs.
A consideration of available evidence for some known and well-characterized waterborne pathogens suggests that the diversity of pathogen virulence mechanisms and properties is too great to specifically predict the emergence and future human health impacts of new waterborne pathogens. However, some future emerging pathogens are existing microbes that will be discovered to cause disease. Some wil...

Background and purpose: Safe drinking is water that does not have any chemical and microbial contamination. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline standards for drinking water total and fecal coliform the indicator of fecal contamination must not be detectable in any 100 ml samples. Pollution indicator bacteria such as coliforms and fecal coliforms were enumerated using a mu...
متن کاملWaterborne Pathogens: Detection Methods and Challenges
Waterborne pathogens and related diseases are a major public health concern worldwide, not only by the morbidity and mortality that they cause, but by the high cost that represents their prevention and treatment. These diseases are directly related to environmental deterioration and pollution. Despite the continued efforts to maintain water safety, waterborne outbreaks are still reported global...
متن کاملEmerging waterborne infections: contributing factors, agents, and detection tools.
Because microorganisms are easily dispersed, display physiological diversity, and tolerate extreme conditions, they are ubiquitous and may contaminate and grow in water. The presence of waterborne enteric pathogens (bacteria, viruses, and protozoa) in domestic water supplies represents a potentially significant human health risk. Even though major outbreaks of waterborne disease are comparative...
