Surveillance of adenoviruses and noroviruses in European recreational waters
No full textExposure to human pathogenic viruses in recreational waters has been shown to cause disease outbreaks. In the context of Article 14 of the revised European Bathing Waters Directive 2006/7/EC (rBWD, CEU, 2006) a Europe-wide surveillance study was carried out to determine the frequency of occurrence of two human enteric viruses in recreational waters. Adenoviruses were selected based on their near-universal shedding and environmental survival, and noroviruses (NoV) selected as being the most prevalent gastroenteritis agent worldwide. Concentration of marine and freshwater samples was done by adsorption/elution followed by molecular detection by (RT)-PCR. Out of 1410 samples, 553 (39.2%) were positive for one or more of the target viruses. Adenoviruses, detected in 36.4% of samples, were more prevalent than noroviruses (9.4%), with 3.5% GI and 6.2% GII, some samples being positive for both GI and GII. Of 513 human adenovirus-positive samples, 63 (12.3%) were also norovirus-positive, whereas 69 (7.7%) norovirus-positive samples were adenovirus-negative. More freshwater samples than marine water samples were virus-positive. Out of a small selection of samples tested for adenovirus infectivity, approximately one-quarter were positive. Sixty percent of 132 nested-PCR adenovirus-positive samples analysed by quantitative PCR gave a mean value of over 3000 genome copies per L of water. The simultaneous detection of infectious adenovirus and of adenovirus and NoV by (RT)PCR suggests that the presence of infectious viruses in recreational waters may constitute a public health risk upon exposure. These studies support the case for considering adenoviruses as an indicator of bathing water quality

Critical loads and their exceedances for ICP-Waters sites (ICP Waters report 44/1998)
No full textThe International Co-operative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes (ICP Waters) is designed to assess, on a regional basis, the degree and geographical extent of acidification of surface waters. We report here an assessment of critical loads and their exceedances of sulphur and nitrogen acidity for the 92 ICP-sites (72 in Europe and 20 in North America). At 46% of the European sites the critical loads of acidity are less than 50 meq/m²/yr, and 68% of the sites have critical loads less than 100 meq/m²/yr. The corresponding figures for the North American sites are 40 and 75%, respectively. Comparing the critical loads with the nitrogen and sulphur depositions in 1990, the current reduction plans (CRP) and maximum feasible reductions (MFR) scenarios in 2010, it was found that of the 72 European sites 51 were exceeded in 1990, 32 will still be exceeded in 2010 under the current reduction plans, and only two at maximum feasible reductions. Apparently, the sensitivity of surface waters to acidification in parts of Europe has not received proper attention

From Coahoma County to Cook County: The Music of Muddy Waters
No full textAfrican Americans developed the blues as a reaction to the harsh conditions in the Mississippi Delta. The music found a new home during the first half of the twentieth century when thousands of African Americans migrated to northern cities. Inevitably, the sounds and styles of the bluesmen that journeyed North changed in response to their new environment. My research focuses on the music of Muddy Waters because of his unique experiences in both the Delta and Chicago. This portion of research analyzes Waters’ Stovall Plantation recordings, as they are a reflection of his life in the Delta. Later study will explore his early work in Chicago
Molecular detection of bioluminescent dinoflagellates in surface waters of the Patagonian Shelf during early austral summer 2008
No full textWe investigated the distribution of bioluminescent dinoflagellates in the Patagonian Shelf region using “universal” PCR primers for the dinoflagellate luciferase gene. Luciferase gene sequences and single cell PCR tests, in conjunction with taxonomic identification by microscopy, allowed us to identify and quantify bioluminescent dinoflagellates. We compared these data to coincidental discrete optical measurements of stimulable bioluminescence intensity. Molecular detection of the luciferase gene showed that bioluminescent dinoflagellates were widespread across the majority of the Patagonian Shelf region. Their presence was comparatively underestimated by optical bioluminescence measurements, whose magnitude was affected by interspecific differences in bioluminescence intensity and by the presence of other bioluminescent organisms. Molecular and microscopy data showed that the complex hydrography of the area played an important role in determining the distribution and composition of dinoflagellate populations. Dinoflagellates were absent south of the Falkland Islands where the cold, nutrient-rich, and well-mixed waters of the Falklands Current favoured diatoms instead. Diverse populations of dinoflagellates were present in the warmer, more stratified waters of the Patagonian Shelf and Falklands Current as it warmed northwards. Here, the dinoflagellate population composition could be related to distinct water masses. Our results provide new insight into the prevalence of bioluminescent dinoflagellates in Patagonian Shelf waters and demonstrate that a molecular approach to the detection of bioluminescent dinoflagellates in natural waters is a promising tool for ecological studies of these organisms
