Because Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts are very resistant to conventional water treatment
processes, including chemical disinfection, we determined the kinetics and extent of their …

To evaluate the effectiveness of UV irradiation in inactivating Cryptosporidium parvum
oocysts, the animal infectivities and excystation abilities of oocysts that had been exposed to …

This study investigated the level of inactivation and the potential for Cryptosporidium parvum
to repair following low doses (1 and 3mJ/cm2) of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation from both low …

Ultraviolet light is being considered as a disinfectant by the water industry because it
appears to be very effective for inactivating pathogens, including Cryptosporidium parvum …

Bench‐scale experiments determined the germicidal effects of varying dosages of
polychromatic ultraviolet (UV) radiation on oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum. C. parvum …

Even extremely low dosages of ultraviolet light can be highly effective for inactivating
Cryptosporidium oocysts. Recent studies have shown that Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts …

Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in water were exposed to distinct wavelength bands of
collimated beam ultraviolet (UV) radiation across the germicidal UV wavelength range (210 …

The Cryptosporidium spp. UV disinfection studies conducted to date have used
Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts. However, Cryptosporidium hominis predominates in …

In vivo studies indicate the infectivity of treated Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts more
reliably than do in vitro assays. Inactivation of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in finished …

The effect of ultraviolet radiation from low-and medium-pressure mercury arc lamps on
Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts was studied using a collimated beam apparatus …
