Application of three different methods to determine the prevalence, the abundance and the environmental drivers of culturable Vibrio cholerae in fresh and brackish bathing waters
Kirschner A, Pleininger S, Jakwerth S, Rehak S, Farnleitner A, Huhulescu S, et al.
J Appl Microbiol . 2018 Jun; 125(4):1186-1198. PMID: 29856502
Aims: Three cultivation methods were used to study the prevalence and abundance of Vibrio cholerae in Eastern Austrian bathing waters and to elucidate the main factors controlling their distribution. Methods...

Multiparametric monitoring of microbial faecal pollution reveals the dominance of human contamination along the whole Danube River
Kirschner A, Reischer G, Jakwerth S, Savio D, Ixenmaier S, Toth E, et al.
Water Res . 2017 Aug; 124:543-555. PMID: 28806705
The microbial faecal pollution of rivers has wide-ranging impacts on a variety of human activities that rely on appropriate river water quality. Thus, detailed knowledge of the extent and origin...

Setback distances between small biological wastewater treatment systems and drinking water wells against virus contamination in alluvial aquifers
Blaschke A, Derx J, Zessner M, Kirnbauer R, Kavka G, Strelec H, et al.
Sci Total Environ . 2016 Aug; 573:278-289. PMID: 27570196
Contamination of groundwater by pathogenic viruses from small biological wastewater treatment system discharges in remote areas is a major concern. To protect drinking water wells against virus contamination, safe setback...
