The project objectives were to:
Summarised the current literature understanding of factors able to reduce Cryptosporidium and/or Giardia recovery from water samples.
Examined a pooled dataset of Cryptosporidium and Giardia recovery data from several Australian laboratories for correlation of low recovery with other available sample parameters.
Reported on parameters correlated with low recovery, and recommend potential approaches to overcome and/or predict low recovery in water samples.
