Protozoan (waterborne) Over recent decades, parasitic protozoa have been recognized as having great potential to cause waterborne and foodborne disease. In the developing world, contamination of drinking water with protozoan pathogens poses a serious threat to millions of people, however, periodic outbreaks are also seen in the developing world, often caused by the protozoan parasites Cryptosporidium sp., Giardia sp., and Entamoeba histolytica. Parasite-free drinking water relies on conventional water treatment — a regimen of coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection which normally removes protozoan parasites effectively. Simple, cheap methods for the identification of protozoans in environmental samples are still needed as the standard procedures for the detection of many species were developed several decades ago and rely on microscopy identification of cysts and trophozoites.
