An Investigation of UV Disinfection and Repair in Cryptosporidium parvum

Abstract

Investigates whether self-repair by Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts can occur following UV disinfection. Evaluates the implications for use of UV technologies, including identification of possible repair mechanisms following UV treatment to determine the kinetics of reactivation and the impacts of post-disinfection storage times and environmental conditions during distribution. Published in 2004.
