Recovery of oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum using 142 mm diameter 1.2 μm pore size acrylic copolymer membrane filters was evaluated. A mean recovery efficiency of 25.5% for oocyst concentrations of about 200 in 10 1 was achieved, making this method a simple and relatively efficient procedure compared with current standard methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
