Description:
The U.S. EPA Critical Path Science Plan Projects are: Project 19: develop novel bovine and human host-specific PCR assays and complete performance evaluation with other published methods. Project 20: Evaluate human-specific assays with water samples impacted with different levels of fecal pollution from a wide geographic range to supplement site characterization and quantitative sanitary investigation. Project 21: Evaluate bovine-specific assays with water samples impacted with different levels of fecal pollution to supplement site characterization and quantitative sanitary investigation.
