Waterborne microbial risk assessment : a population-based dose-response function for Giardia spp. (E.MI.R.A study)

摘要

BackgroundDose-response parameters based on clinical challenges are frequently used to assess the health impact of protozoa in drinking water. We compare the risk estimates associated with Giardia in drinking water derived from the dose-response parameter published in the literature and the incidence of acute digestive conditions (ADC) measured in the framework of an epidemiological study in a general population.
