Full Description

This study determined the kinetics and extent of inactivation of Cryptosporidiumparvum oocyst infectivity for MDCK cell cultures and Giardia lamblia cyst infectivity for Mongolian gerbils by various doses of monochromatic, low-pressure ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The potential for and magnitude of DNA repair in UV-irradiated C. parvum oocysts was also studied. Includes 18 references, table, figure.
