Antibody-magnetite method for selective concentration of Giardia lamblia cysts from water samples

Article Abstract:

The selective concentration of Giardia cycsts from water samples by an antibody-magnetite concentration method is discussed. This involved the utilization a primary antibody and a secondary labeling reagent. High-gradient magnetic separation was used to concentrate the magnetically-labeled cysts. The potential of the method for linkage with indirect fluorescent-antibody detection methods was demonstrated.

Comparison of levels of inactivation of two isolates of Giardia lamblia cysts by UV light

Article Abstract:

A collimated beam protocol and a Mongolian gebril model are used to assess the effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on two human isolates (WB and H3) of Giardia lamblia cysts. The results have shown that the gerbils are more susceptible to isolate WB cysts after the cysts are exposed to UV light.
