Direct filtration of Cryptosporidium surrogates in drinking water treatment-a multiscale approach
DownloadSpring 2019
Cryptosporidium, a waterborne protozoan pathogen that can cause gastrointestinal illness, is often found in surface waters that are used to supply drinking water. Filtration is a major barrier against Cryptosporidium in drinking water treatment processes. However, interactions between oocysts and...

Evaluating the transport and removal of coated microspheres as Cryptosporidium surrogates in drinking water filtration
DownloadFall 2015
A glycopolymer-modified microsphere surrogate for Cryptosporidium was developed, characterized, and used in filtration experiments. Several surrogates were investigated (yeast, unmodified microspheres, glycoprotein-modified microspheres), and then compared to Cryptosporidium oocysts....
