Abstract
- The results of laboratory flume experiments designed to investigate the stream-subsurface exchange of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts is presented. The results indicate that the interactions reduce oocyst concentrations in surface waters and they also concentrate oocysts in sediment beds, which then represent a reservoir for pathogens that could be released during high-flow events.
