Cryptosporidium CRYPTS
“Featuring Cryptosporidium slides, suspensions and filters – plus Giardia samples” Cryptosporidium is a parasite found in water that can cause illness in humans, as demonstrated in many recent Cryptosporidium outbreaks that have threatened public health. Potable or recreational waters should be treated to remove Cryptosporidium ; samples are therefore regularly tested through the water industry to ensure that treatment has worked and water supplies are free from Cryptosporidium . Guidelines exist, such as those from the WHO and the EPA, to ensure Cryptosporidium doesn’t contaminate human water supplies. The AXIO Proficiency Testing CRYPTS Scheme enables participants to show the validity of their methods and results, with samples including slides, suspensions, and filters with Cryptosporidium oocysts.
