Correspondence Methods and Results: Mussels and their overlying waters were collected Adewale Olalemi, Department of Microbiol- biweekly from an estuary in southeast England over a 2-year period (May ogy, School of Sciences, Federal University of 2013–April 2015) (n = 48). Levels of bacterial indicators were determined Technology, Akure, P.M.B 704, Akure, Ondo using membrane filtration and most probable number methods and those of State, Nigeria. bacteriophages were determined by direct plaque assay. The detection of E-mail: waleolas2002@yahoo.com adenovirus was determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The 2016/0755: received 19 April 2016, revised results revealed that somatic coliphages demonstrated the most significant 28 June 2016 and accepted 28 June 2016 correlations with AdV F and G in mussels (q = 0
