Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate in an immunosuppressed rat cryptosporidiosis model a new method that combines vacuum and low-temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma for sterilization of endoscopic material contaminated by Cryptosporidium parvum. Rats were challenged with oocysts either air-dried or air-dried and treated with vacuum alone or associated with gas plasma. No rat was found infected after gas plasma exposure of oocysts, whereas vacuum or air-drying alone resulted only in a decreased infectivity.
