Sommario/riassunto

Cryptosporidium , in its various forms, is a widely recognised cause of outbreaks of waterborne disease. Regulatory bodies worldwide are increasingly requiring the development of ""fit-for-purpose"" detection methods for this protozoan parasite, but analysis is often problematic.Bringing together international academic and industry-based experts, this book provides a comprehensive review of the current state of



analytical techniques for the detection of Cryptosporidium , as well as looking at likely future developments. In particular, the issues of species identification and oocyst viability a
