Abstract:
Giardia sp. and Cryptosporidium sp. have emerged as waterborne pathogens of concern in Taiwan. This study examined both parasites in the actual water samples in southern Taiwan. Method 1623 was characterized by a higher recovery rate and lower detection limit compared with the information collection requirement protozoan method. A significant correlation between water turbidity and Cryptosporidium sp. in raw water samples was found in this study.
