• Abstract

  Environmental protection is a goal of most governments in the world, both from the point of view of conservation of natural resources and ecosystems and the protection of public health. The challenge for public health and the environment is to improve the quality of water destined for public supply and thus improve the level of population health and reduce, therefore, the load of pathogen…

• Abstract

  The protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium has emerged as one of the most important contaminants of water, causing waterborne outbreaks of diarrheal diseases worldwide. The small size of oocysts under the microscope, and the possibility of changes in characteristics of oocysts, mainly in environmental samples make the taxonomy of the genus very difficult if morphological aspects are considere…

• Abstract

  The bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is a zoonotic agent transmitted mainly by food and can be lethal in outbreaks. Among the sources of infection, stands out dairy products, meat and the environments of food processing industry. In the last decade, there have been detected strains of L. monocytogenes and L. innocua in food and environment, characterized with low to high virulence to euka…
