Extractions: Cryptosporidiosis is caused by Cryptosporidium, a protozoa infection that usually infects the gastrointestinal tract. The most common symptom is diarrhea along with cramping abdominal pain, especially in the right side. The diarrhea can be profuse and watery. Infection can also cause loss of appetite and vomiting. In people whose immune systems aren't compromised, infection is either without symptoms or symptoms go away on their own, usually in 30 days. However, in young children and immunocompromised adults, infection can cause severe and lengthy illness. Diagnosis is made by the identification of the parasite in fecal smears or by intestinal biopsy. Cryptosporidiosis has recently been added to the list of infections that must be reported by doctors and other health-care providers to the New York City Department of Health. The primary way of getting infected is person to person via the fecal-oral route. Those at highest risk are young children, especially those in day care, those who engage in oral-anal sex, and close personal contacts of infected patients. Some outbreaks have been traced to water supply systems. Cryptosporidiosis was first found in a human in 1976. Before that, cryptosporidiosis was thought to only infect animals and was considered a veterinary problem. Around 1983, the number of human cases began to rise.

Extractions: What is cryptosporidiosis? Cryptosporidiosis is an illness in which a parasite, Cryptosporidium parvum , is present in the intestinal tract. The parasite produces cysts (eggs) which are passed from the body in the stool (bowel movements). People with strong, healthy immune systems usually recover on their own. People with weak immune systems may have symptoms for longer periods and repeated illness episodes. What are the symptoms?

Extractions: Cryptosporidium parvum Cryptosporidium parvum , a single-celled animal, i.e., a protozoa, is an obligate intracellular parasite. It has been given additional species names when isolated from different hosts. It is currently thought that the form infecting humans is the same species that causes disease in young calves. The forms that infect avian hosts and those that infect mice are not thought capable of infecting humans. Cryptosporidium sp. infects many herd animals (cows, goats, sheep among domesticated animals, and deer and elk among wild animals). The infective stage of the organism, the oocyst is 3 um in diameter or about half the size of a red blood cell. The sporocysts are resistant to most chemical disinfectants, but are susceptible to drying and the ultraviolet portion of sunlight. Some strains appear to be adapted to certain hosts but cross-strain infectivity occurs and may or may not be associated with illness. The species or strain infecting the respiratory system is not currently distinguished from the form infecting the intestines. 2. Nature of Acute Disease:

Cryptosporidiosis is a disease affecting the intestines of mammals that is caused by Cryptosporidium , a protozoan parasite in the phylum Apicomplexa . It is a disease spread through the fecal-oral route ; the main symptom is self-limiting diarrhea in people with intact immune system. In immunocompromised individuals, such as AIDS it is one of the most common waterborne diseases and is found worldwide. The disease and parasite name are sometimes abbreviated to just Crypto Infection is through contaminated material such as earth, water , uncooked or cross-contaminated food that has been in contact with the feces of an infected individual or animal . Contact must then be transferred to the mouth and swallowed. It is especially prevalent amongst those in regular contact with bodies of fresh water whether through work or recreation. Symptoms appear from two to ten days after infection and last for up to two weeks or so. As well as watery diarrhea there is often

Extractions: Cryptosporidium parvum is a protozoan parasite can infect mammals, birds, reptiles and even fish. It belongs to a larger group of parasites that are collectively called âcoccidiaâ. Cryptosporidium is a common cause of human diarrhea, although itâs less common than diarrhea caused by human viruses. Large outbreaks of Cryptosporidiosis have occurred in cities when the city water supply has become contaminated. Cryptosporidiosis is especially common in the young, both in animals and in man. Most infected people recover without treatment but C. parvum can cause especially severe disease in people that have weakened immune systems or who are positive for HIV. People and animals are infected with C. parvum when they allow fecal material from an infected person or animal to enter their mouth. The organism reproduces rapidly in the intestine, and the feces of infected animals and humans are highly infectious. The disease is diagnosed by finding oocysts in the feces of patient. The oocysts are highly resistant to disinfectants. Infected feces from wild or domestic animals may cause ponds, lakes, and reservoirs to become contaminated. Two to ten days after ingesting the organism, a watery diarhea may develop, often accompanied by cramping, nausea, and malaise. Healthy individuals generally recover in 3-14 days without any treatment. In people whose immune systems are compromised, the diarrhea can be much worse, and the organism can sometimes invade organs other than the intestine.

Extractions: What is it? Cryptosporidiosis, or "crypto" for short, is a disease caused by a group of organisms called Cryptosporidium . The organisms infect the lining of the small intestine and can cause severe diarrhea and malabsorption (an inability to absorb nutrients). Cryptosporidium is spread by feces. Food or water contaminated with animal feces may carry these organisms; 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 is an illness caused by the protozoan Cryptosporidium, a single-celled parasite. Is cryptosporidiosis a new disease? Although Cryptosporidium is not new, it was not recognized as a cause of human disease until 1976. What are the signs and symptoms of cryptosporidiosis? By far, the most common symptom is diarrhea which is usually watery and profuse, and often accompanied by abdominal cramping. Nausea, vomiting, fever, headache and loss of appetite may also occur. Rarely, the parasite can cause an inflammation of the gall bladder or infect the lining of the respiratory tract causing pneumonia. Some persons infected with Cryptosporidium may not become ill. Who is susceptible to cryptosporidiosis and how long does the illness last? All persons are presumed susceptible to infection with Cryptosporidium. In most healthy persons with normal immune systems, signs and symptoms generally persist for two weeks or less, although they may improve and then worsen during that time period. However, immune compromised persons may be unable to clear the parasite and may have much more severe and long lasting illness. (Some examples of immune compromised persons include people receiving cancer chemotherapy, kidney dialysis patients, persons on steroid therapy, people infected with HIV, and patients with Crohn's disease.)

Extractions: References Introduction: Cryptosporidium parvum, a protozoan parasite, is found in the feces of infected people, cattle, and other domestic animals. It has been a recognized human pathogen since 1976. It affects people with HIV infection and other immunosuppressed persons more severely than the general population. It has been identified as a cause of sporadic human gastrointestinal disease and sometimes of outbreaks - the largest being the 1993 waterborne outbreak in Milwaukee in which more than 400,000 persons became ill. It has also been transmitted by person-to-person contact in child care setting, through food, and through sexual activity that involve contact with feces. Cryptosporidiosis has become a significant public health issue, particularly because studies indicate that Cryptosporidium oocysts are present in 65%-97% of surface water prior to treatment (i.e., rivers, lakes, and streams) tested throughout the U.S. Because Cryptosporidium is highly resistant to chemical disinfectants used to treat drinking water, physical removal of the parasite from water by filtration is an important component of the municipal water treatment process.

Extractions: Cryptosporidiosis is an intestinal illness caused by a microscopic parasite called Cryptosporidium. This organism has long been recognized as a parasite of a wide variety of vertebrates but it was not noted to cause disease in man until 1976. Since then, it has been identified as a cause of sporadic human gastrointestinal disease as well as large common source outbreaks, particularly water-borne outbreaks. Who gets cryptosporidiosis? Anyone can get cryptosporidiosis, but there are some groups of people who are at increased risk for getting it such as children and care providers at daycare centers, people who drink contaminated water, people exposed to human feces through sexual contact or while caring for a person with cryptosporidiosis, and people that work closely with animals, especially domestic animals. How is the parasite spread?
