Molecular genetic tools for environmental monitoring of New Zealand's aquatic habitats, past, present and the future (2013, background): “FIB are commonly used as proxies for pathogen concentrations as these bacteria are generally not pathogenic in themselves, but their concentrations are indicative of the degree of contamination by faecal material (Griffin et al. 2001).”
Enteric Viruses of Humans and Animals in Aquatic Environments: Health Risks, Detection, and Potential Water Quality Assessment Tools (2005, background): “Monitoring for the presence of human enteric viruses in environmental waters began in the 1940s, and this work has been applied to the detection of both human and animal viruses for monitoring microbial water quality and possibly tracking major sources of water pollution (62).”
