Potential of a mammalian and avian environmental DNA metabarcoding assay as a tool for fecal pollution source tracking in river waters
A variety of animal DNA in surface water was identified by a metabarcoding approach. They corresponded to host-specific Bacteroidales markers, highlighting the potential of this approach for comprehensively identifying pollution sources.
