Biological Test for the Detection of Low Concentrations of Infectious Cryptosporidium parvum Oocysts in Water

Panagiotis Karanis, Dirk Schoenen

Abstract

An in vivo SCID mouse infectivity assay was used to determine its capacity to detect the infectivity of low concentrations of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in water. This biological test can be applied to demonstrate oocysts infectivity in water samples derived from drinking water supply and/or environmental sources.
