Aims: In this study, we determined the ability of a promising alternative UV technology–a
polychromatic emission from a medium‐pressure UV (MP UV) technology–to inhibit the …

Aims: Giardia lamblia is one of the most important waterborne pathogens in the world. In this
study, we determined the effectiveness of a promising alternative UV technology–a …

In this study, we determined the repair capabilities of Giardia lamblia cysts when they were
exposed to low-pressure (LP) UV and then 4 different repair conditions. A UV collimated …

The effect of UV irradiation on human-derived Giardia lamblia cysts (WB isolate, cultivated
using the gerbil model, and purified to homogeneity) was assessed using a 254nm …

The human and animal pathogen Giardia lamblia is a waterborne risk to public health
because the cysts are ubiquitous and persistent in water and wastewater, not completely …

Aims: The research was initiated to confirm earlier ultraviolet (uv) light inactivation studies
performed on Giardia cysts using excystation as the viability indicator. Following this, a …

The effects of 254-nm UV irradiation on two human isolates (WB and H3) of Giardia lamblia
cysts were assessed using a collimated beam protocol and a Mongolian gerbil model. The …

The ability of Giardia lamblia trophozoites to reproduce after exposure to different fluences of
UV radiation was determined using an in vitro-cultured method. The rate of parasite …

This study measured the effect of germicidal ultraviolet (UV) light on Giardia lamblia and
Giardia muris cysts, as determined by their infectivity in Mongolian gerbils and CD-1 mice …

Several waterborne outbreaks of giardiasis have been linked to discharge of wastewater
effluents into surface water. Little is known about the infectivity of Giardia lamblia cysts …
