Development of a method for detection of Giardia duodenalis cysts on lettuce and for simultaneous analysis of salads products for the presence of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts
Article Abstract:
A method is developed for detecting Giardia duodenalis cysts on lettuce, which is further used for examining salad products for the presence of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts. The incorporation of the fluorogenic oocyst and cyst reporter system has enhanced the quality assurance and has identified the importance of the food matrix effect in various commercial salad products.

Sensitivity of nested PCR in the detection of low numbers of Giardia lamblia cysts
Article Abstract:
The studies carried out to determine the efficiency of nested PCR to amplify the DNA from low numbers of Giardia lamblia cysts suggest nested PCR as well adapted for Giardia lamblia single-cyst detection.
