CryptoSource

 


We have established a multidisciplinary team to address the objectives of this proposal, including a microbiologist specializing in Cryptosporidium research, a population ecologist and an engineer with expertise in water pollution control. This team is committed to the long term goal of determining the source, fate, transport, and public health significance of Cryptosporidium in our region.
