Parasitic contamination in wastewater and sludge samples in Tunisia using three different detection techniques.

Parasitology research - 1 Jun 2010

Khouja Layla Ben Ayed, Cama Vitaliano, Xiao Lihua

Abstract excerpt

The limited availability of water results in the reuse of wastewater or sludge. The Tunisian wastewater regulatory guidelines have specific limits for ova of helminths (<1 egg/l) but none for protozoan parasites. We assessed the presence and loads of parasites in 20 samples of raw, treated wastewater and sludge collected from six wastewater treatment plants. Samples were tested by microscopy using the modified...
