Advancing Cryptosporidium Parvum Detection Methodologiesby Mark Jenkins
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This study focused on ideal methods of detecting C. parvum oocysts which give low detection limits, specific and sensitive detection in concentraded samples, and differentiation of viable from non-viable oocysts; are usable by a water treatment facility and provide quantitative results within a few hours. Potential useful methods are continuous flow centrifugation, rel-time TaqMan PCR, cell culture inoculation followed by PCR of DNA extration, and FISH. Book News Annotation:Presents the results of two studies conducted to optimize methods for
detecting C. parvum oocysts in both source and finished waters. The
first study develops a continuous flow centrifugation (CFC) method
for concentrating large volumes of water to recover C. parvum
oocysts, and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for detecting
low numbers of C. parvum oocysts. The second study tests whether
fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and cell culture assays are
affected by CFC recovery of C. parvum oocysts from water. Methods
for estimating the viability and infectivity of C. parvum oocysts are
also assessed. No index is provided.
