Cryptosporidiosis is caused by a parasite called CRYPTOSPORIDIUM. The parasite enters through your mouth and most often infects your bowels. However, it can also infect your gallbladder, stomach, pancreas, bile ducts and lungs. How do I get it? Cryptopsoridium can be found in contaminated food and water. It can be passed from person to person by poor handwashing, eating or drinking contaminated food and water, and by oral-anal sex (rimming). Cryptosporidium is found by testing stool samples or by a biopsy (taking a small sample of tissue from an organ in your body and looking under a microscope for the parasite).

ACSSJR Home Up English Português C r y p t o s p o r i d i o s i s Cryptosporidium is an intracellular protozoan parasite that is associated with gastrointestinal diseases in all classes of vertebrates including mammals, reptiles, birds and fish. Along with Giardia, it is among the most common parasitic enteric pathogens in humans. The organisms infect and reproduce in the epithelial cells of the digestive or respiratory tracts. Infection is predominantly associated with diarrhea and biliary tract disease. Cryptosporidium is present in 1 to 3 percent of immunocompetent patients with diarrhea in industrialized countries and 7 to 10 percent in developing countries.

Ask an Attorney Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal disease caused by a microscopic parasite, Cryptosporidium parvum . It lives in the intestines of humans and animals and is passed in the stool of an infected person or animal. Both the disease and the parasite are known as "Crypto." The parasite has a protective outer shell that allows it to survive outside the body for long periods and makes it very resistant to chlorine disinfection. Symptoms of Cryptosporidiosis generally begin 2-10 days after being infected and include, but may not be limited to, diarrhea , loose or watery stools, stomach cramps, upset stomach, and a slight fever. Some people have no symptoms. In otherwise healthy people, symptoms usually last about 2 weeks and go away on their own. Millions of Crypto bacteria can be released in a bowel movement of an infected human or animal. You can become infected after accidentally swallowing the parasite. Crypto may be found in soil

Cryptosporidiosis (often called "crypto") is a diarrheal disease caused by a one-celled parasite called Cryptosporidium parvum . Few people had heard of crypto until 1993, when over 400,000 people in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, became ill after their drinking water became contaminated with the parasite. How is cryptosporidiosis spread? People get infected when they swallow microscopic Cryptosporidium oocysts (the egg-like infectious forms of the parasite), which are shed in the feces of infected animals or people. This can happen by drinking contaminated water, through contact with infected humans or animals, or from exposure to surfaces or foods that may have become contaminated. Cattle are an important source of these parasites, but they can also be carried by other farm animals, pets, and some wild animals. What are the symptoms of cryptosporidiosis?

Protozoa are a group of parasites that infect the human intestine, and include the better known Giardia Cryptosporidia was first identified in 1976 as a cause of disease in humans. Description Cryptosporidia are normally passed in the feces of infected persons and animals in the form of cysts. The cysts can remain in the ground and water for months, and when ingested produce symptoms after maturing in the intestine and the bile ducts. When viewed under the microscope, they appear as small bluish-staining round bodies. Most common sources of infection are other humans, water supplies, or reservoirs. These are contaminated by animals that defecate in these areas. An outbreak in Milwaukee in 1993 in which over 400,000 persons were affected was traced to the city's water supply. Cysts of Cryptosporidia are extremely resistant to the disinfectants that are commonly used in most water treatment plants and are incompletely removed by filtration. Most persons who experience significant symptoms have an altered immune system, and suffer from diseases such as

Travelling in foreign countries What is cryptosporidiosis? Cryptosporidiosis is an infection of the intestines caused by a very small parasite. The disease is usually contracted by drinking contaminated water. In B.C., drinking water systems supplied from surface water sources (rain, creeks, rivers, lakes, etc.) are vulnerable to contamination by the feces of infected animals. What are the symptoms of cryptosporidiosis? Symptoms usually start anywhere from 2 to 14 days after exposure to the parasite, although not everyone who is infected with it will feel sick. If symptoms do occur, they may include frequent watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and mild fever. Symptoms may come and go, and usually last fewer than 30 days in people who are otherwise healthy. Young children and the elderly may be at risk of getting dehydrated. The infection may also last longer and be more serious in people whose immune system is not working properly. Persons with AIDS, those who have had an organ or bone marrow transplant, and those who have had cancer treatment are examples of people who may get serious infections.
