CrAssphage May Be Viable Markers of Contamination in Pristine and Contaminated River Water

ABSTRACT Viruses are the most biologically abundant entities and may be ideal indicators of fecal pollutants in water. Anthropogenic activities have triggered drastic ecosystem changes in rivers, leading to substantial shifts in chemical and biological attributes. Here, we evaluate the viability of...
