EVALUATION OF TWO CONCENTRATION METHODS FOR DETECTING "GIARDIA" AND "CRYPTOSPORIDIUM" IN WATER

HSU B. M. / HSU Y. F. / HUANG C. / et al. - ARTICLE DE PERIODIQUE - 2001

Comparizon of two concentration methods for Cryptosporidium and Giardia detection. The cartridge filtration and the membrane filtration recommended by the USEPA , based on their sensivities, recovery efficiencies and detection limits on cysts and oocysts. The correlation between the densities of protozoan parasite and some indicator microorganisms were determined, and the effect of turbidity on these two methods was also evaluated.
