Quantitative-PCR assessment of Cryptosporidium parvum cell culture infection
Article Abstract:
An integrated cell culture quantitative PCR method is developed to quantify Cryptosporidium parvum cell culture infection and many examples of its applications to this field of research are provided. The cell culture quantitative selection detection (CC-QSD) has a potential to help in the optimization of Cryptosporidium cell culture methods and facilitate quantitative evaluation of cell culture infectivity experiments.

Particle based multidimensional multispecies biofilm model
Article Abstract:
A spatially multidimensional and three-dimensional particle based approach for modeling the dynamics of multispecies biofilms growing on multiple substrates is described. The model is based on diffusion-reaction mass balances for chemical species coupled with microbial growth and spreading of biomass represented by hard spherical particles.
