The transmission of waterborne diseases related to water supply for human consumption has been recorded even in developed countries. The authorities' attention has focused on actions related to detection and control of protozoa Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia spp. since several outbreaks caused by these microorganisms have been reported in recent decades. The main source of water contami…
The use of the microfauna of activated sludge as a valuable tool in assessing the quality of treated sewage has become a growing practice. The analysis and characterization of microfauna, an assessment of resistant forms of pathogenic organisms removal must be considered as another parameter in assessing the performance of sewage treatment plant by activated sludge. In Brazil, most sewage…
Water and food contaminated with cysts of Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. are the main route of transmission of these protozoa which cause, respectively, giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis in humans. These parasites show great relevance in public health as they affecting children which showing gastroenteritis. The objective of the study is to verify the presence of these parasites in …
The presence of pathogenic waterborne protozoa, Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia spp., has been documented in Atibaia and Capivari rivers that supply the city of Campinas, SP. These rivers exhibit high degree of eutrophication. This research aims to investigate the occurrence of different species of Cryptosporidium and Giardia genotypes in samples of raw surface water from the Atibaia and…
The city of Campinas, SP, is supplied by Atibaia Capivari and rivers, which supply 95 % and 5 % of total water withdrawal for public supply, respectively. Both rivers belong to the Piracicaba Basin, Capivari and Jundiaí, covering one of the most populated and industrialized regions of São Paulo. These water bodies exhibit a high degree of eutrophication due to the release of domestic sewa…
