An application of the Bivariate Generalized Pareto Distribution for the probabilities of low flow extremes estimation (2008)

Jakubowski, W.

The two-dimensional Bivariate Generalized Pareto Distribution (BGPD) of Tajvidi (1996) is applied in order to estimate the extreme values of the low flow deficit amounts and durations probabilities....

Identification of algae which interfere with the detection of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts and a method for alleviating this interference.

Rodgers, M R, Flanigan, D J, Jakubowski, W

Fifty-four algal species were tested for cross-reaction in the American Society for Testing and Materials Giardia/Cryptosporidium indirect immunofluorescence assay, and 24 showed some degree of...

An in vitro method for detecting infectious Cryptosporidium oocysts with cell culture.

Slifko, T R, Friedman, D, Rose, J B, Jakubowski, W

Current assay methods to detect Cryptosporidium oocysts in water are generally not able to evaluate viability or infectivity. A method was developed for low-level detection of infective oocysts by...

Detection of virus in water: sensitivity of the tentative standard method for drinking water.

Hill, W F, Jakubowski, W, Akin, E W, Clarke, N A

The sensitivity of several microporous virus-adsorbent media for reliably detecting low levels of poliovirus from 380 and 1,900 liters of drinking water by use of the tentative standard method was...

Prevalence of Giardia spp. in beaver and muskrat populations in northeastern states and Minnesota: detection of intestinal trophozoites at necropsy provides greater sensitivity than detection of cysts in fecal samples.

Erlandsen, S L, Sherlock, L A, Bemrick, W J, Ghobrial, H, Jakubowski, W

Surveys of the prevalence of the intestinal protozoan Giardia spp. in animal populations have relied almost exclusively on the detection of cysts in fecal samples. We have determined the prevalence...

Propidium iodide as an indicator of Giardia cyst viability.

Sauch, J F, Flanigan, D, Galvin, M L, Berman, D, Jakubowski, W

The use of propidium iodide, whose uptake indicates cell death or damage, was investigated to assess the viability of heat-inactivated and chemically inactivated Giardia muris cysts. This was done by...

Detection of Giardia cysts by using the polymerase chain reaction and distinguishing live from dead cysts.

Mahbubani, M H, Bej, A K, Perlin, M, Schaefer, F W, Jakubowski, W, Atlas, R M

A method was developed for the detection of Giardia cysts by using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the giardin gene as the target. DNA amplification by PCR, using giardin DNA as the target,...

Cross-species transmission of Giardia spp.: inoculation of beavers and muskrats with cysts of human, beaver, mouse, and muskrat origin.

Erlandsen, S L, Sherlock, L A, Januschka, M, Schupp, D G, Schaefer, F W, Jakubowski, W, ...

Giardia cysts isolated from humans, beavers, mice, and muskrats were tested in cross-species transmission experiments for their ability to infect either beavers or muskrats. Giardia cysts, derived...

Effect of an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant on ambient air densities of aerosols containing bacteria and viruses.

Fannin, K F, Vana, S C, Jakubowski, W

Bacteria- and virus-containing aerosols were studied during the late summer and fall seasons in a midwestern suburb of the United States before and during the start-up and operation of an unenclosed...

Differentiation of Giardia duodenalis from other Giardia spp. by using polymerase chain reaction and gene probes.

Mahbubani, M H, Bej, A K, Perlin, M H, Schaefer, F W, Jakubowski, W, Atlas, R M

Giardia spp. are waterborne organisms that are the most commonly identified pathogenic intestinal protozoans in the United States. Current detection techniques for Giardia species in water include...

Giardia prevalence among 1-to-3-year-old children in two Washington State counties.

Harter, L, Frost, F, Jakubowski, W

A survey of intestinal parasites was conducted in two Washington counties. Giardia prevalence among 518 children surveyed was 7.1 per cent and was unrelated to the source of domestic drinking water...
