According with the results, coliphages are useful as index
or model organism of the presence of EV, due to the significant
relationship showed. These agree with results
reported for coliphages and enterovirus [51,52] where
there is also highlighted the similarities in physical particle
characteristics, as well as resistance to wastewater treatment;
which support the idea of using coliphages as
enteric viruses index, and also as a process indicator [48].
