detection of cryptosporidium species and sources of contamination with cryptosporidium hominis during a waterborne outbreak in north west wales. | as part of investigations into the cause of a waterborne outbreak of cryptosporidium hominis infection linked to a mains water supply, surface waters and wastewater treatment plants were tested for cryptosporidium spp. oocyst counts in base flow surface water samples ranged from nil to 29 per 10 l. oocyst counts in effluent from a community wastewater treatment plant were up to 63 fold higher and breakout from one septic tank five logs higher. there were no peak (storm) flow events during the in ... | 2010 | 20154394 |
giardia sp.: comparison of electrophoretic karyotypes. | species in the genus giardia have been named on the basis of host specificity, cell dimensions, and median body morphology. despite these criteria, the species taxonomy of giardia is still in question. to investigate giardia taxonomy on a molecular level, giardia chromosomal dna was analyzed by orthogonal-field-alternation gel electrophoresis (ofage) and transverse alternating field electrophoresis (tafe). chromosomal dna of g. duodenalis isolates (human, muskrat, sheep, dog, beaver), g. muris ( ... | 1990 | 2226707 |
