Abstract

Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) and Giardia intestinalis (G. intestinalis) were investigated in samples collected from lake, stream and drinking fountain within borders of Isparta city in Turkey. This study was conducted between June and October 2004 and 40 water samples were collected. Seven water samples were collected from Eğirdir Lake, six from Gölcük Lake, ten from Darı Stream of Isparta flowing into Karacaören Dam after uniting Aksu Stream. Seventeen samples from fountains were collected from different regions of the city. These samples were filtered using a membrane filtration system. After centrifuging, the filtered samples were investigated with direct microscopy for Giardia and with Modified Zielh-Nellsen (MZN) for Cryptosporidium. Existence of C.parvum was verified by immunoflourescence assay (IFA) method. After the direct microscopy and MZN, C. parvum existence susficied in 13 (32,5%) of the 40 samples, and six of them (15%) was confirmed by IFAmethod. Giardia cysts were found in 8 (20%) sample after direct microscopy.
