摘要：In order to prevent the outbreak of cryptosporidiosis, understanding the pathogenic parasite Cryptosporidium transport mechanism in the surface water body is critical. Cryptosporidium transport from soil to surrounding water bodies is a main source of pollution and impacted with the attachment by soil and plants. However, the attachment of Cryptosporidium by soil or plants is not clear. In this study, Cryptosporidium attachment by holly plant (Ilex spp.) roots and the impact factors were studied. Results showed that holly plant roots could attach the Cryptosporidium-sized microspheres and low soil pH and high sodium ion intensity can promote the attachment. But high-level Cryptosporidiumsized microspheres lead to the decreased attachment. It concluded that holly roots reduced the migration of Cryptosporidium due to the attachment.
