The presence of all three classes of pathogens (viral, protozoan and bacterial) as well as indicator microbes at a non-point source recreational beach is assessed. The analysis of the various microbes under different targeted environmental conditions has included the evaluation of the sources of microbial contaminants and pathogens and the effectiveness of various analytical methods for microbe detection.
