Abstract
Dataset for: McGrath, J. S. et al (2017). Analysis of parasitic protozoa at the single-cell level using microfluidic impedance cytometry. Scientific Reports.In the article associated with the dataset, we use Microfluidic Impedance Cytometry (MIC) to characterise the AC electrical (or dielectric) properties of single protozoan parasites (Cryptosporidium and/or Giardia (oo)cysts) and demonstrate rapid discrimination based on viability and species. Specifically, MIC was used to identify live and inactive C. parvum oocysts with over 90% certainty, whilst also detecting damaged and/or excysted oocysts. Furthermore, discrimination of Cryptosporidium parvum, Cryptosporidium muris and Giardia lamblia, with over 92% certainty was achieved. The data and code necessary to generate the full results can be found in this dataset.
