Background:

Cryptosporidium oocysts pose a significant threat to water safety.
Efficient methods for pathogen detection and removal from water are crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a highly efficient system for capturing Cryptosporidium oocysts from water samples.
To utilize natural zeolite as a matrix for antibody immobilization and pathogen capture.

Main Methods:

A peptide linker fused with protein G was used to bind natural zeolite.
A specific antibody (CRY104) for Cryptosporidium was attached to the zeolite matrix.
Zeolite columns were designed and tested for oocyst capture efficiency from water.

Main Results:

The developed system achieved outstanding capture efficiency (>90 %) for Cryptosporidium oocysts.
The natural zeolite matrix allowed for high flow rates and flexible column design.
The system demonstrated rapid concentration of pathogens from water samples.

Conclusions:

Natural zeolite functionalized with specific antibodies provides a versatile and efficient platform for Cryptosporidium oocyst capture.
This method offers a promising solution for pathogen detection and water quality monitoring.
