Abstract The accidental ingestion of treated recreational water is an important transmission route waterborne protozoa worldwide. present study aimed to provide the first evaluation swimming pools in Brazil, analysing presence pathogenic ( Toxoplasma gondii , Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia spp.) by parasitological molecular methods. A total 57 samples were collected from 21 public pools, either directly pool or filter backwash concentrated using membrane filtration technique. cysts oocysts...
Abstract The detection of Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp. was performed, along with the identification ciliated protozoa biodiversity, to evaluate correlation between these in freshwater quality monitoring. Water sediment samples from two sites Atibaia River (Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil) were collected monthly for years (n = 96). Pathogenic water detected by using immunomagnetic separation, followed visualization immunofluorescence assay (IFA). All positive aliquots IFA subjected...
