Abstract

This study takes a systematic sampling approach to assess the public health risk of Escherichia coli recovered from freshwater sites within forest and farmland. The New Zealand landscape is dominated by livestock farming, and previous work has demonstrated that “recreational exposure to water” is a risk factor for human infection by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC).
