1 Sampling and Source Tracking of Cryptosporidium spp. Oocysts June 28, 2005 Kristen L. Jellison, Ph.D. Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Lehigh University Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

2 Ultimate Goal of Source Tracking Identify important watershed sources of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts Develop watershed management policies to prevent Cryptosporidium spp. contamination of surface waters

16 Observations: Wachusett Reservoir Watershed The molecular detection method is sensitive and specific for Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts in water and fecal samples Nested PCR is required for detection of Cryptosporidium spp. in baseline environmental samples Multiple species of Cryptosporidium are detectable in environmental samples Suspected oocyst source is not always the observed source Evidence of wildlife, not human, impacts on GB Birds seem to be a bigger influence on JF than dairy farm activity

17 Method Comparison Quantitative estimate of oocyst density EPA Method 1622 es Molecular Detection Method No * Identification of oocyst infectivity No No * Detection of low oocyst densities (e.g., baseline environmental samples) Identification of oocyst genotype No No es es *But could be determined with method modifications
