Abstract:Bacteriophages have been explored as indicators of the presence of human viruses in water. F+ coliphages are of particular interest due to their abundance in wastewater and some groups survive the treatment process. This study assessed the prevalence of F+ coliphages and FRNA bacteriophage (FRNAPH) groups in the wastewater of Mumbai city and explored its correlation with the presence of SARS-CoV-2. Wastewater samples (raw = 63, treated = 99) collected from three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were assesse… Show more
