The probability of detecting host-specific microbial source tracking markers in surface waters was strongly associated with method and season by Claire M. Murphy, Daniel L. Weller, Tanzy M. T. Love, Michelle D. Danyluk, Laura K. Strawn

“…To understand how to best employ MST marker data for managing fecal contamination risks, the present study compiled previously collected MST marker data (N = 12,878 samples) from across North America; each sample in the data set had been tested for fecal contamination from one or more of five sources (avian, canine, human, ruminant, swine). Using these data, this study aimed to characterize associations between non-methodological and methodological factors and detection of host-specific MST markers and determine how methodological differences may complicate the interpretation of these associations between studies. …”
