The aim of this study was to validate and compare the capacity of two laser scanning cytometers commercially available (LSC\u00ae and ChemScanRDI\u00ae), against manual microscopic enumeration of <jats:italic>Cryptosporidium<\/jats:italic> oocysts in surface water and reference material samples.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Reference material and surface water samples were analysed by two laser scanning cytometers methodologies and by manual epifluorescence microscopy.
