Low pressure ultraviolet studies for inactivation of Giardia muris cysts.
AIMS The research was initiated to confirm earlier ultraviolet (u.v.) light inactivation studies performed on Giardia cysts using excystation as the viability indicator. Following this, a comparison of in vitro excystation and animal infectivity was performed for assessing cyst viability after exposure to low-pressure u.v. irradiation. METHODS AND RESULTS Cysts of Giardia muris were inactivat...
متن کاملInactivation of Giardia muris cysts by free chlorine.
The chlorine resistance of cysts of the flagellate protozoan Giardia muris was examined. This organism, which is pathogenic to mice, is being considered as a model for the inactivation of the human pathogen Giardia lamblia. Excystation was used as the criterion for cyst viability. Experiments were performed at pH 5, 7, and 9 at 25 degrees C and pH 7 at 5 degrees C. Survival curves were "steplad...
متن کاملComparison of Giardia lamblia and Giardia muris cyst inactivation by ozone.
Inactivation of Giardia lamblia and Giardia muris cysts was compared by using an ozone demand-free 0.05 M phosphate buffer in bench-scale batch reactors at 22 degrees C. Ozone was added to each trial from a concentrated stock solution for contact times of 2 and 5 min. The viability of the control and treated cysts was evaluated by using the C3H/HeN mouse and Mongolian gerbil models for G. muris...
متن کاملBatch solar disinfection inactivates oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum and cysts of Giardia muris in drinking water.
AIM To determine whether batch solar disinfection (SODIS) can be used to inactivate oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum and cysts of Giardia muris in experimentally contaminated water. METHODS AND RESULTS Suspensions of oocysts and cysts were exposed to simulated global solar irradiation of 830 W m(-2) for different exposure times at a constant temperature of 40 degrees C. Infectivity tests wer...
متن کاملinvestigation of low-pressure ultraviolet radiation on inactivation of rhabitidae nematode from water.
rhabditidae is a family of free-living nematodes. free living nematodes due to their active movement and resistance to chlorination, do not remove in conventional water treatment processes thus can be entered to distribution systems and cause adverse health effects. ultraviolet radiation (uv) can be used as a method of inactivating for these organisms. this cross sectional study was done to inv...
