چکیده
introduction: detection of cryptosporidium and giardia parasites in water samples is usually performed by us environmental protection agency 1623 method. nevertheless, the usepa1623 method still need improvement, to prevent and control the water borne parasitic disease. therefore, we undertook the present study. materials and methods: totally 48 surface water samples were collected. four samples from 12 sites and samples of each site were evaluated by ims-ifa, sf-ifa, ims-pcr and sf-pcr. these typically involve sample filtration by membrane filter, separation by sucrose flotation or immunomagnetic separation (ims) methods and detection of (oo)cysts by pcr or immunofluorescent staining. results: same samples were evaluated by the different techniques at the same time showing a rate of cryptosporidium oocysts detection of 8 (66.6%) by ims-ifa, 7 (58.3%) by sf-ifa, 10 (83%) by ims-pcr and 0% by sf-pcr.giardia cysts detected in, 5 (41.7%) by ims-ifa, 3(25%) by sf-ifa, 7 (58.4%) by ims-pcr and 2 (17%) by sf-pcr. conclusion: data analysis showed a higher sensitivity of ims-pcr for the detection of giardia and cryptosporidium (oo)cysts respectively in comparison with others techniques used in this study. ims prior to dna extraction showed a higher sensitivity to eliminate or reduce pcr inhibitors that presence in water samples.

متن کاملDetection and enumeration of Cryptosporidium oocysts in environmental water samples by Real-time PCR assay
Introduction: The protozoan parasite, Cryptosporidium Spp., widely spreads in both raw and drinking waters. It is the causative agents of waterborne diarrhea and gastroenteritis in the world. In the present study, a molecular assay was used for the detection and quantification of Cryptosporidium oocysts in environmental water samples. Materials and methods: Thirty surface water samples wer...
متن کاملDetection and discrimination of Cryptosporidium parvum and C. hominis in water samples by immunomagnetic separation-PCR.
Cryptosporidium parvum and C. hominis have been the cause of large and serious outbreaks of waterborne cryptosporidiosis. A specific and sensitive recovery-detection method is required for control of this pathogen in drinking water. In the present study, nested PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), which targets the divergent Cpgp40/15 gene, was developed. This nested PCR detecte...
متن کاملComparison of immunofluorescence assay and immunomagnetic electrochemiluminescence in detection of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in karst water samples.
Immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and immunomagnetic electrochemiluminescence (IM-ECL) were used for comparison of the percent recovery of Cryptosporidium parvum in environmental water samples obtained from a spring draining a karst basin. The monoclonal antibodies to C. parvum, isotype IgG3 were used for optimization of the IM-ECL protocol. The combination of biotinylated and TAG-labeled anti-C. ...
متن کاملIdentification of Cryptosporidium Sp. Oocysts in Water by Modified Immunomagnetic Separation and Rflp-pcr
Current methodologies for detection of Cryptosporidium sp. in water, despite some efforts for standardization (e.g. EPA Methods 1622/1623), has several drawback that limit the applicability or interpretation of the results of Cryptosporidium monitoring. Presence of some chemical dissolved in water, ageing of oocysts, reduced affinity of antibodies used in immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and imm...
