Heating water to 65º C (149º F) will kill all germs, viruses, and parasites. list of pathogens and what temperature they are killed: Microbe: Worms, Protozoa cysts (Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba) – are killed rapidly at 131F (55C). Bacteria (V. cholerae, E. coli, Shigella, Salmonella typhi), Rotavirus – are killed rapidly at 140F (60C). Hepatitis A virus is killed rapidly at 149F (65C).
