“…This could occur because of a slaughterhouse upstream of the sampling locations was releasing contents into the investigated river section. Furthermore, there is a significant amount of cattle and sheep grazing occurring in this flood plain area [ 41 ]. Carnobacterium divergens and Aeromonas salmonicida are associated with fish.…”

“…Once in soil, SE can spread to other fomites, such as grass, which was observed in the current study, but it is important to note that it could also spread to nearby water sources and crop-fields in the form of runoff. Another major source of SE was fecal matter form various animals, primarily from poultry, cattle and swine, which could be an explanation for the prevalence of the pathogen in soil, as it gets seeded with the bacteria as animals graze, while the soil conversely serves as a source of re-inoculation, as well as cross-contamination for other animals that are rotated to graze on the same land ( McAllister and Topp, 2012 ; Joseph et al, 2021 ). Many integrate/pasture farms engage in animal rotation, increasing the chances of cross-contamination between the animals that graze on the same plots of land even if the animals are not there simultaneously, which could serve as an explanation as to why chicken and cattle samples were highly positive, since these were two animal groups that were often rotated between the same pasture sites across the farm.…”

“…Land use patterns signi cantly in uence E. coli exports from catchments (Joseph et al, 2021). In urban areas, dense human populations and wastewater treatment plants can lead to high E. coli levels in the environment owing to an increased potential for fecal contamination.…”

“…Research has shown that the distribution of E. coli, which exhibits regional and seasonal distribution patterns in catchments, is affected by the combined in uence of geographical location, climatic conditions, and hydrological characteristics (Islam et al, 2018). Additionally, human activities, such as animal husbandry, agriculture, and urbanization, also contribute signi cantly to the spatial and temporal distribution of E. coli (Joseph et al, 2021).…”
