Cultivation of Endamoeba Histolytica in Artificial Media from Cysts in Drinking Water Subjected to Chlorination
Summary and Conclusions
- 1. Experiments are reported on the cultivation of the cysts of Endamoeba histolytica following controlled exposure to varying strengths of residual chlorine in water.
- 2. In a number of instances the cysts remained viable after such treatment.
- 3. Chlorination of drinking water in practical amounts cannot be depended upon to destroy all of the cysts of E. histolytica.
