Research Impact
Evaluates the effect of various concentration techniques on the viability and infectivity of purified C. parvum oocysts. Demonstrates the feasibility of using a cell culture technique to assess oocyst infectivity. Also determines a procedure most advantageous for recovery efficiency without compromising oocyst viability and infectivity. Published in 2004.
