Detection of Cryptosporidium Recovered from Large-Volume Water Samples Using Dead-End Ultrafiltration
摘要
This procedure provides instructions for detection of Cryptosporidium from large-volume water samples. Water samples are collected by dead-end ultrafiltration in the field and processed in a laboratory. Microbes recovered from the filters are further concentrated and subjected to Cryptosporidium isolation or nucleic acid extraction methods for the detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts or Cryptosporidium deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
