  • Studies to distinguish between human and animal faecal sterols 
    Sundram, A.; Jumanlal, N.; Ehlers, Marthie Magdaleen (Water Resource Council, 2006)
    Please open article to read abstract
  • Genotyping of F-RNA coliphages isolated from wastewater and river water samples 
    Sundram, A.; Jumanlal, N.; Ehlers, Marthie Magdaleen (Water Research Council, 2006-01)
    Faecal contamination of water sources can only be managed if the sources of pollution are identified and thus tools to distinguish between human and animal faecal sources are needed. Male-specific F-RNA coliphages have ...
  • Protein profiles of phosphorus- and nitrate-removing activated sludge systems 
    Ehlers, Marthie Magdaleen; Cloete, Thomas Eugene (Water Research Council, 1999-07)
    Samples from laboratory-scale activated sludge systems operating under spesific conditions which differ in phosphate-removing capabilities were obtained from the University of Cape Town. The total protein content of samples ...
  • Direct extractions of proteins to monitor an activated sludge system on a weekly basis for 34 weeks using SDS-page 
    Ehlers, Marthie Magdaleen; Cloete, Thomas Eugene (Water Research Council, 1999-01)
    The diversity and dynamics of microbial communities of phosphorus-removing and non-phosphorus-removing activated sludge systems have mostly been analysed by culture-dependent methods. A more direct method is the isolation ...
  • Awaking a sleeping epidemic 
    Van Coller, Riaan; Van Rensburg, Elna; Schutte, Clara-Maria; Brink, Delene; Welthagen, Gerhard Frederick; Dove, Mike G. (South African Medical Association, 2007-04)
    Two patients with African sleeping sickness (SS) presented to the neurology unit, Pretoria Academic Hospital, during 2004 and 2005. SS has shown a recent resurgence, with epidemics in the Sudan, Angola and the Democratic ...
  • Prevalence of vaccine-derived polioviruses in sewage and river water in South Africa 
    Pavlov, Dobromir Nikolov; Van Zyl, Walda B.; Van Heerden, J.; Grabow, W.O.K.; Ehlers, Marthie Magdaleen (Elsevier, 2005-09)
    Polioviruses (PVs) are not associated with waterborne transmission to the same extent as many other enteric viruses. However, they are typically transmitted by the faecal-oral route, which implies that the risk of infection ...
