Detection of Infectious Cryptosporidium in Conventionally Treated Drinking Water

Abstract

This project examines conventionally filtered surface water for the presence of infectious Cryptosporidium using both cell culture techniques and molecular methods. The project was initiated to repeat a previous study that reported a risk of infectious Cryptosporidium in filtered drinking water. In the current study, more advanced methods were applied and they show minimal risk of Cryptosporidium in filtered drinking water. Published in 2010.
