Influence of surface characteristics on the stability of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts
Article Abstract:
Research examines the electrophoretic mobility and surface properties of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts as affected by isolation and handling procedures. Capillary electrophoresis analysis indicate that formalin inactivation does not influence oocysts electrophoretic mobility and distilled water washed cells exhibit both neutral and negative surface charges.

Interaction of Pasteurella multocida with free-living amoebae
Article Abstract:
Fowl-cholera-causing Pasteurella multocida strains have the ability to enter and survive within the free-living amoebae species Acanthamoeba polyphaga and Hartmanella vermiformis. It is suggested that the interaction between Pasteurella multocida and amoebae may occur within the natural environment.

Use of aqueous silver to enhance inactivation of coliphage MS-2 by UV disinfection
Article Abstract:
A synergistic effect between silver and UV radiation has been observed that can appreciably enhance the effectiveness of UV radiation for inactivation of viruses. The changes in the fluence have a greater influence on inactivation that does a proportionate change in silver concentration.
