Article Synopsis
- Human and livestock sewage contributes to nutrient pollution, causing issues like eutrophication and the potential spread of harmful viruses in aquatic ecosystems.
- This study focused on the Ebrié Lagoon in Ivory Coast, analyzing water and sediment samples to investigate the composition and diversity of viral communities and identify viral indicators of faecal contamination.
- The results showed distinct viral DNA and RNA patterns related to faecal contamination and human pathogens, particularly in more eutrophicated areas, suggesting that studying viromes could be an effective method for monitoring human-induced pollution in aquatic environments.
The disposal of sewage in significant quantities poses a health hazard to aquatic ecosystems. These effluents can contain a wide range of pathogens, making faecal contamination a leading source of waterborne diseases around the world. Yet monitoring bacteria or viruses in aquatic environments is time consuming and expensive.
