ok the initial source of duckweed can be disinfected with pp(up to 16ppm no problem)Subsequently leave some excess to seed further production within the same water source.Parasites need hosts to survive also ,so if there is no fish host wtihin a water source for a period,parasites would not survive as well except through encysting themselves.
Without Sun no duckweed can flourish,needless to add that water is essential.Need I go to spell out the requirements of germination of seed and plant ie water,warmth and air to complete the list of requirements Matrix! |

That's what I am afraid of , dormant parasites stuck to the roots or leaves. There is an element of risk here, up to the individual to decide whether it's worthwhile. Same as for frozen live food. |
