Separation of Cryptosporidium species oocysts from feces by using a percoll discontinuous density gradient.

چکیده
Cryptosporidium oocysts were concentrated by an ether-phosphate-buffered saline sedimentation technique and then separated by density gradient centrifugation. This two-step method yielded highly concentrated oocysts largely free of bacteria and fecal debris.

Separation of cryptosporidium oocysts from fecal debris by density gradient centrifugation and glass bead columns.
A method was developed to obtain purified cryptosporidium oocysts from fecal samples. Oocysts were initially collected by centrifugation through a sucrose density gradient and further purified by passage through glass bead columns. The purified oocysts were antigenically active and sufficiently pure for immunological studies.

متن کاملRemoval of Cryptosporidium and Giardia through Conventional Water Treatment and Direct Filtration
Pilotand full-scale evaluations of Giardia and Cryptosporidium cyst removals through direct filtration and conventional water treatment were conducted by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. Cysts were seeded continuously in a step dose at a 0.5 gpm pilot plant, and in a spike at a 900 gpm full-scale plant; both plants were operated under conventional treatment and direct filtration re...
متن کاملPrevalence and age-related variation of Cryptosporidium species and genotypes in dairy calves.
Fifteen dairy farms in seven states on the east coast of the US were each visited on two consecutive years to determinate the prevalence of Cryptosporidium species in pre-weaned (5 days to 2 months) and post-weaned calves (3-11 months), respectively. After each of 971 fecal specimens collected directly from each calf was sieved and subjected to density gradient centrifugation to remove debris a...
