A colorimetric method for detecting virulent bacteriophage to Vibrio cholerae in fecal and environmental samples
This colorimetric assay provides a convenient method to detect vibriophages on a larger scale than was possible earlier. Its use should help to better understand the role of vibriophage as a surrogate for detecting V. cholerae and better understand their role in the pathogenesis, ecology, and epidemiology of cholera.
