Contact Us About ... Cryptosporidiosis What is Cryptosporidiosis? Cryptosporidiosis, (krip-toe-spo-rid-e-OH-sis), often called "crypto", is a disease caused by a very small, one-celled parasite, Cryptosporidium parvum , that can live in the intestine of humans and animals. Healthy people recover on their own, but in people with AIDS or others with weak immune systems, crypto can be very serious and even cause death. How is Crypto spread? You can get crypto by eating food contaminated with the stool (bowel movement) of an infected person. Farm animals, such as calves, can pass crypto in their stool. You can also get crypto by swallowing contaminated water from lakes, rivers, streams, swimming pools or hot tubs. Crypto is not killed by chlorine used to treat drinking water. Crypto can be spread from person-to-person by sex that may involve contact with stool. It may also be spread by touching others with unwashed hands after using the bathroom or by touching items such as diapers or linens soiled with stool and then touching your mouth.

Cryptosporidiosis, or "crypto" for short, is a disease caused by an organism called Cryptosporidium parvum . The organism infects the lining of the small intestine and can cause severe diarrhea and malabsorption (an inability to absorb nutrients). Cryptosporidium parvum is spread by feces. Food or water contaminated with animal feces may carry this organism; it's also possible that oral-anal sex may spread the infection. On occasion, there are outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis that can be traced to a feces-contaminated water supply. This is most common in warm-weather climates.

Cryptosporidiosis Resources for Child Care Givers Provided by All Family Resources Home Site Index Facts Index FACT SHEETS ON CHILDHOOD DISEASES AND CONDITIONS Cryptosporidiosis in the Child Care Setting Cryptosporidiosis is an infectious diarrheal disease caused by the Cryptosporidium parasite. Cryptosporidiosis is a common cause of diarrhea in children, especially those in child care settings. Symptoms usually include watery diarrhea and stomach ache, but can also include nausea and vomiting, general ill feeling, and fever. Healthy people who contract cryptosporidiosis almost always get better without any specific treatment. Symptoms can come and go for up to 30 days, but usually subside in less. However, cryptosporidiosis can cause severe illness in persons with compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV infection or those taking drugs that suppress the immune system. Cryptosporidiosis is spread through fecal-oral transmission by feces of an infected person or an object that has been contaminated with the infected person's feces. Infection can also occur if someone ingests food or water contaminated with the parasite. Cryptosporidiosis outbreaks in child care settings are most common during late summer/early fall (August/September), but may occur at any time. The spread of cryptosporidiosis is highest among children who are not toilet-trained, and higher among toddlers than infants, probably due to the toddlers' increased movement and interaction among other children. For child care providers, the risk is greatest for those who change diapers.

CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS Pathogen: Cryptosporidiosis is an infection of the lower gastrointestinal tract caused by the Cryptosporidium parvum parasite. Infection is transmitted through food or water contaminated by fecal material and spreads through fecal-oral contact. Contaminated municipal water supplies have caused some outbreaks. Sites of infection: Typically the intestine(s), but biliary-tract involvement is common and the lungs and lining of the lungs may also be infected. Symptoms: Watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, weight loss, anorexia, flatulence, and malaise. In HIV-negative people, diarrhea is temporary and resolves itself in 1 to 2 weeks. There are three ways that cryptosporidiosis affects people with HIV. The first is in the form of diarrhea that lasts 1 to 2 weeks and resolves by itself; the second involves chronic diarrhea, lasting 2 to 4 weeks or more; and the third entails severe, life-threatening diarrhea that results in dehydration. Diagnosis: By fecal smear using a modified acid-fast stain, stool antigen test, or intestinal biopsy. Researchers from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in London have successfully diagnosed

Publications You are here: CIEH Today Information Resources Cryptosporidium Cryptosporidium: the public concern So what is the public concern about? Cryptosporidium means 'hidden spore'; transmitted readily by water systems, the organism is named after the ease with which it can escape detection in samples. Without a cure, it has earned a worldwide reputation as a serious threat to public health. What worries health authorities is Cryptosporidium's resistance to many traditional treatments including chlorination, rendering much of the treatment process irrelevant. A single-celled organism, it has many attributes of the 'nightmare bug' -it is difficult to detect, able to live for long periods in cold dark reservoirs and pipes, strikes large numbers of people and presents a threat to life for the elderly, very young and immuno-compromised. It is unclear how it is able to survive chlorination although it is believed that its protective 'oocyst' membrane plays a role. One theory is that the organism might use a pump mechanism to expel toxins from its inside before they cause it harm. Whatever its defence, it is effective: a study by the US Environmental Protection Agency suggested that Cryptosporidium could even live on Chlorine products.

Cryptosporidiosis (Crypto) is an infection. It is caused by the parasite Cryptosporidium parvum. Parasites get their nutrients from another living organism (the host). Crypto mainly affects the intestines and causes diarrhea. Crypto is easily spread by contaminated food or water, or direct contact with an infected person or animal. About 15% to 20% of people with AIDS are infected with crypto. Only some of these infections lead to serious disease. Crypto causes diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps. In people with healthy immune systems, these symptoms do not last more than about a week. See Fact Sheet 554 for more information on diarrhea. However, crypto may continue for a long time if the immune system is damaged. This usually happens with T-cell counts below 300. If crypto continues for 4 weeks or more in someone with HIV, they have AIDS according to the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control. Diarrhea can interfere with the absorption of nutrients. If it continues for a long time, you can develop serious weight loss (

What can I do to prevent cryptosporidiosis? What is cryptosporidiosis? 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?

How can I prevent cryptosporidiosis? ... 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.
