Abstract
Recovery of oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum using 142 mm diameter 1. 2 mu m pore size acrylic copolymer membrane filters was evaluated. A m ean recovery efficiency of 25.5% for oocyst concentrations of about 20 0 in 10 l was achieved, making this method a simple and relatively eff icient procedure compared with current standard methods.
