Microbial source tracking for streams in Scott County, Iowa, 2023

Surface water samples (n = 33) were collected in fall of 2023 at stream sites in Scott County Iowa, USA and were analyzed for microbial source tracking markers by quantitative polymerase chain reaction at the Laboratory for Infectious Disease and the Environment (LIDE). Microbial source tracking markers identify fecal sources of contamination by detecting microbes that are specific to certain animals. Cooperators include Partners of Scott County Watersheds, Prairie Rivers of Iowa, and U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service.
