“…Thus, somatic coliphages and fecal coliforms were present more often and found in greater numbers than enterococci and F-specific phages. These fecal indicator counts are comparable to counts in Ž seawater reported elsewhere Cornax et al, 1991;Dutka et al, 1987;Marino et al, 1995;Martinez-Manzanares et al, 1992;O'Keefe and Green, 1989;Tartera and .

“…First, new inputs of faecal pollution could be the cause of the changes observed in the river course. However, we have no evidence of significant faecal inputs and the ratio between faecal coliforms and somatic coliphages at sampling site 3 rather indicates that natural inactivation has occurred (O’Keefe & Green 1989; Moriñigo et al . 1992; Pedroso & Martins 1995).…”

“…Tais achados coincidem com as observações de diversos autores 8,12,15,17,18,19 . Verificou-se, portanto, nas condições da realização do presente trabalho, que não foi viável a utilização da presença de colifagos como indicadores de poluição fecal para o monitoramento da qualidade da água dos poços rasos analisados, baseado na ausência de coliformes fecais em 100 ml da amostra, uma vez que não foi obtida correlação entre os números de colifagos e das bactérias indicadoras de poluição fecal pequisadas.…”
