Journal ArticleDOI

A practical and user-friendly toxicity classification system with microbiotests for natural waters and wastewaters.

TL;DR: An alternative toxicity classification system that was easier to apply and substantially more cost effective than any of the earlier methods was developed and applied in the framework of a cooperation agreement between the Flemish community in Belgium and central and eastern Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toxicity of cylindrospermopsin to the brine shrimp Artemia salina: comparisons with protein synthesis inhibitors and microcystins.

TL;DR: Cylindrospermopsin was slightly less potent than micro cystin-LR, with similar LC(50) values on a gravimetric basis, but was more toxic to A.salina than the protein synthesis inhibitors, cycloheximide, chloramphenicol and tetracycline.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allergenic (sensitization, skin and eye irritation) effects of freshwater cyanobacteria—experimental evidence

TL;DR: Microcystis, Anabaena, Cylindrospermopsis, and Aphanizomenon bloom and strain samples were examined in sensitization and irritation tests and no correlation was found between the toxin content and the allergenic character.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combination of ARAD microfibre filtration and LAMP methodology for simple, rapid and cost-effective detection of human pathogenic Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp. in drinking water

TL;DR: A new, simple methodology for the monitoring of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts in drinking water samples, ranging from 10‐ to 1000‐l, is reported, which combines a new ARAD microfibre filtration of the (oo)cysts from drinking water and loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of a human pathogenic Cryptospora parvum.
