First report of Cryptosporidium hominis in a freshwater sponge [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2020 Identification of Cryptosporidium oocyst is essential in ensuring water quality fit for human use, consumption, and recreation. This communication proposes the supplemental analysis of substrate-associated biofilms, in particular, freshwater sponges in improving case finding of waterborne-protozoan pathogens (WBPP) in environmental aquatic samples.
