Oocyst in sand filters. The transport of Cryptosporidium parvum through unsaturated sand filters was investigated. A 61-days-study was performed on 16 pilot units in different operating conditions. No correlation between water characteristics and C. parvum was found. The grain size was the parameter affecting the removal of oocysts.
