Özet

Cryptosporidiosis is a globally widespread protozoan disease with zoonotic character. Protection and control bear great importance for combating the disease that may cause serious economic losses. At this point, UV (ultraviolet) may be used to inactivate the oocysts those are infectious form of the disease. In this study, determination of the effect of UV sterilization process used in routine cell culture laboratory sterile cabins (laminar flow) on Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts and the efficiency of vital dyes (DAPI, PI) in the demonstration of the changes made by UV applications in question on oocysts is aimed.
