A rapid and inexpensive method is described for accurate and reproducible counting and manipulating small numbers of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts. From a suspension of oocysts or cysts at concentration from 1000 to 5000/mL (1–5/μL), replicate 5 μL droplets are micro pipetted onto the edge of a microscope slide. Unstained oocysts or cysts in each…
