Cryptosporidium, in its various forms, is a widely recognised cause
of outbreaks of waterborne disease. Regulatory bodies worldwide are
increasingly requiring the development of "fit-for-purpose"
detection methods for this protozoan parasite, but analysis is
often problematic. Bringing together international academic and
industry-based experts, this book provides a comprehensive review
of the current state of analytical techniques for the detection of
Cryptosporidium, as well as looking at likely future developments.
In particular, the issues of species identification and oocyst
viability are addressed. Quality assurance issues and potential
problems associated with the new Cryptosporidium regulations are
also highlighted. The extent of the perceived problems and the
regulatory backdrop against which the analysis must be carried out
are also discussed. Scientists in the water industry, environmental
testing laboratories, researchers, consultants, environmental
health professionals, food manufacturers and regulatory or
environmental bodies are amongst the many who should read this
book. In addition, anyone with an interest in microbiological
challenges and problem-solving will welcome the coverage.
