To develop diagnostic methods for detecting cryptosporidium parvum in water using molecular and immunological technologies. Dr. Jim Trout will also work on the project.
<p>
Four different types of technology will be studied to develop detection reagents for Cryptosporidium parvum in water. These technologies are: polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked mmunosorbent assay (ELISA), cell culture, and fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH).
