Separation of Cryptosporidium species oocysts from feces by using a percoll discontinuous density gradient.
Cryptosporidium oocysts were concentrated by an ether-phosphate-buffered saline sedimentation technique and then separated by density gradient centrifugation. This two-step method yielded highly concentrated oocysts largely free of bacteria and fecal debris.
