http://www.aidsinfonyc.org/tag/comp/ois98/14.html

Extractions: Cryptosporidium is a small, obligate, intracellular protozoan that occurs widely in nature and causes disease in animals and humans. While many species of Cryptosporidium have been identified, only two, Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium muris, are known to infect mammals (Upton 1985). Cryptosporidia are highly infectious and can be transmitted through water, food, animal-to-human and human-to-human contact. Because of Cryptosporidia's ubiquity and ease of transmission, people with compromised immune systems should take special precautions to avoid exposure, which are outlined in the prevention section later in this chapter. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS Human cryptosporidiosis is generally caused by C. parvum, and its primary clinical manifestation is profuse, watery, non-bloody diarrhea. Other symptoms include abdominal pain and cramping, nausea, vomiting and weight loss. Immunocompetent humans may contract cryptosporidiosis, but they are able to rid themselves of the disease within a short period even without treatment. There are three types of clinical presentations of cryptosporidiosis in persons with HIV infection: transient or acute disease, which lasts less than 28 days (typically in persons with CD4 counts greater than 200); chronic disease, with diarrhea lasting more than 28 days; and fulminant disease, with greater than or equal to 20 stools a day. It is not known how frequently these types of presentations occur in PWAs.

Extractions: defaultStatus="Expert in Water Treatment and Speciality Chemicals: Call +44 (0) 1625 267 581 or buy online"; Cryptosporidium is a parasite that infects man and a wide range of domestic and wild animals. It causes cryptosporidiosis, which in healthy adults, is an unpleasant diarrhoea lasting for up to two weeks. At present there is no cure for cryptosporidiosis and the condition can be serious for, and fatal to, the immuno-compromised e.g. those receiving chemotherapy or AIDS patients. Cryptosporidiosis Cryptosporidium poses a challenge to water treatment processes because of its small size and resistance to disinfection processes. However, the Inspectorate's investigations of outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis have shown that they are invariably related to inadequate provision or poor operation of water treatment. There is good evidence that careful operation of the coagulation/flocculation and filtration processes provides consumers with a very high level of protection against exposure to the parasite. The Regulatory Position In June 1999 the UK Government introduced regulations that required water companies to carry out risk assessments to establish whether there is a significant risk from Cryptosporidium in water supplied from each of their treatment works. Where there is a risk, water companies must use a process for treating the water to ensure that the average number of oocysts is less than 1 per 10 litres of water. Water companies must use a regulatory method for sampling and analysis to check that they are complying with the standard.

Cryptosporidiosis is a disease caused by a parasite ( Cryptosporidium ) found in humans, many animals, birds and fish. The parasite multiplies in the gastrointestinal tract of the host and tiny oocysts are excreted in very large numbers in the faeces. The parasite can cause a diarrhoeal illness in humans known as cryptosporidiosis. What are the symptoms of cryptosporidiosis? Symptoms include watery diarrhoea, stomach cramps, upset stomach and a mild fever. Some people have no symptoms. Symptoms can appear 2 to 10 days after a person becomes infected. Symptoms usually last about 2 weeks however, you may continue to pass the parasite in your faeces (bowel motion) for up to 2 months. Symptoms may be more severe if you have a weakened immune system. How does cryptosporidiosis affect you if your immune system is severely weakened? In people with AIDS, and in others whose immune system is weakened, cryptosporidiosis can be a serious and long-lasting infection. If you have HIV infection and your CD4 cell count is below 200, Cryptosporidia can cause severe watery diarrhoea for a long time. If your CD4 cell count is over 200, your illness may only last for 2 weeks however, you may still carry the parasite and pass it on to others.

Extractions: Watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, weight loss, anorexia, flatulence, and malaise. One retrospective chart review (McGowan et al.) suggests that spontaneous remissions may occur with some frequency in AIDS patients with cryptosporidiosis. In this series, 11/38 patients had a clinical remission of their diarrhea. Remission was correlated with a higher CD4 count (>200/cells mm ). Blanshard et al. also report that transient cryptosporidiosis occurs more frequently in patients who are less immunosuppressed, and that fulminant disease generally is seen only in patients with CD4 counts below 50/mm

Cryptosporidiosis is a parasitic infection of medical and veterinary importance which causes diarrheal disease in humans and animals worldwide. What causes cryptosporidiosis? A single-celled, protozoan parasite called cryptosporidium parium. Is this a "new" pathogen? No. While the organism was first recognized in 1907, most information on this disease has been obtained only within the past few years. The first reported human cases were recognized in 1976, and were associated with exposure to farm animals. In the early 1980's most reported infections were in patients with AIDS. The role of cryptosporidium in human disease has gradually emerged due to increased awareness of the organism and improved laboratory technology. Where is the organism found? The organism grows and reproduces within epithelial cells of the respiratory and digestive organs of vertebrates. Once thought to be rare and host specific, cryptosporidium is now known to be ubiquitous and to have many hosts, including humans, cattle and other domestic animals. What are the symptoms of cryptosporidiosis and how soon do they appear?

Disease reporting Cryptosporidiosis - Fact sheet More info Reporting Statistics 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. Large outbreaks and isolated cases of crypto have been identified in Oregon as well. This has focused attention on determining and reducing the risk for cryptosporidiosis from community and municipal water supplies. During 1993-2002 an average of 44 cases of cryptosporidiosis per year were reported in Oregon. For persons with suppressed immune systems, for example persons with AIDS, some cancers, or recent organ transplants, the infection may persist indefinitely, and symptoms may be more severe.

Extractions: Appropriate personal hygiene practices should be effective in preventing the spread of infection. No pharmacological treatment is effective for this infection. Handwashing is the first line of defense. This disease occurs periodically among animal care staff. It is very important that the information provided in the link below is made available to all personnel working with research animals. Cryptosporidium spp. have a cosmopolitan distribution and have been found in many animal species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes. Cross-infectivity studies have shown a lack of host specificity for many of the organisms. Among the laboratory animals, lambs, calves, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, dogs, cats, and nonhuman primates can be infected with the organism. Cryptosporidiosis is common in young animals, particularly ruminants and piglets. Cryptosporidiosis is transmitted by the fecal-oral route and can involve contaminated water, food, and possibly air. Many human cases involve human-to-human transmission or possibly the reactivation of subclinical infections. Several outbreaks of the disease have been associated with surface water contaminants. A 1993 waterborne epidemic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was believed to involve more than 370,000 people. Zoonotic transmission of the disease to animal handlers has been recorded, including a recent report of cryptosporidiosis among handlers of infected infant nonhuman primates.

Extractions: Cryptosporidiosis Disease Fact Sheet What is cryptosporidiosis? Cryptosporidiosis is an intestinal infection caused by the parasite Cryptosporidium which can cause a diarrheal illness in humans and animals (especially very young animals). It is a very small organism, about 4- 6 microns, and 1-16 cysts of the parasite may be capable of causing illness. What are the symptoms? Most persons experience watery diarrhea, stomach cramping and weight loss. About half of the cases will have low-grade fever and vomiting. Symptoms may be intermittent and some people can be infected but have no symptoms. The illness is mild to moderate in severity and self-limited, usually lasting about 2 weeks (range 1-30 days). However in persons with severely weakened immune systems the illness can be severe and long-lasting. How soon do symptoms appear? The incubation period probably ranges from 1 to 30 days with an average of 7 to 14 days. How do you get it? Cryptosporidium is transmitted by fecal/oral spread. The parasite is shed in the feces (stools) of infected people and animals. You get Cryptosporidium by eating food, drinking water or placing objects in your mouth that have been contaminated with feces from an infected person or animal.
