Fig. 1. Mean Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst concentration breakthrough curves in overland flow from 0.5-m-wide x 1.1-m-long x 0.3-m-deep soil boxes set to three land slope treatments, planted with grass, filled with a sandy loam soil, spiked with 200 g of cattle fecal deposit with 2 x 108 oocysts, and subject to simulated rainfall intensities of 30 to 47.5 mm/h for 2 h.

Fig. 2. Mean Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst flux (concentration x flow) breakthrough curves in overland flow from 0.5-m-wide x 1.1-m-long x 0.3-m-deep soil boxes set to three land slope treatments, planted with grass, filled with a sandy loam soil, spiked with 200 g of cattle fecal deposit with 2 x 108 oocysts, and subject to simulated rainfall intensities of 30 to 47.5 mm/h for 2 h.

Fig. 5. Graphical display of a negative binomial regression model quantifying the effect of land slope and precipitation rate on the total Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst flux, and thus log10 reduction, of oocysts per meter of vegetated buffer with ≥95% grass cover, sandy loam soil, and C. parvum application in a cattle 200-g fecal deposit spiked with 2 x 108 oocysts.
