The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has established the Total Coliform Rule as an indication of health risks associated with microbial contamination of drinking and ground water. In addition, the fecal coliform test is used as an indicator to reflect the suitability of use by consumers of class A biosolids. However, numerous studies have shown that bacterial indicators are not predictive of enteric viruses, such as human adenovirus (HAdV), which are much more resistant to treatment methods than bacteria. Enteric viral contamination of estuarine waters and locally-harvested shellfish as a result of receiving effluent from wastewater treatment plants, as …

Panulirus argus Virus 1 (PaV1) is an emerging disease in Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus. It is considered a threat to the lobster industry in the Florida Keys. In order to understand the infection dynamics of the PaV1 virus in the lobster host, a sensitive and specific fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay was developed for diagnosis of PaV1 in lobsters. The lower limit of detection using the 110-bp DNA probe in a dot-blot hybridization for PaV1 was 10 pg of cloned DNA template and 10 ng of genomic DNA extracted from hemolymph of diseased spiny lobster. The probe specifically …
