Summary

In 2018 and 2019, a multidisciplinary team from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Park Service, The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Montana State University’s Department of Microbiology and Immunology, and the Teton Conservation District, initiated a study to document the presence or absence of Naegleria fowleri, Giardia, Escherichia coli, and Cryptosporidium at several hot springs in Grand Teton National Park and John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway and Bridger-Teton National Forest, Yellowstone National Park, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This data release includes qPCR data from this investigation.
