摘要: Nine 50-l surface water samples from a Malaysian recreational lake were examined microscopically using an immunomagnetisable separation-immunofluorescent method. No Cryptosporidium oocysts detected, but 77.8% of contained low numbers Giardia cysts (range, 0.17-1.1 cysts/l), which genetically characterised by SSU rRNA gene sequencing. Genotype analyses indicated the presence duodenalis assemblage A suggesting potential risk to public health. The present study represents first contribution our knowledge G. assemblages in water.
