The most common symptom of cryptosporidiosis is watery diarrhea. Some people with Crypto will have no symptoms at all. People who are most likely to become infected with Cryptosporidium include 1 , 2 :.

Contaminated water might include water that has not been boiled or filtered, as well as contaminated recreational water sources e.

Several community-wide outbreaks have been linked to drinking tap water or recreational water contaminated with Cryptosporidium. This means anyone swallowing contaminated water could get ill. Note: Although Crypto can infect all people, some groups are likely to develop more serious illness. For more information, visit General Information for Immunocompromised Persons.

For diarrhea whose cause has not been determined, the following actions may help relieve symptoms:. Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal disease that is spread through contact with the stool of an infected person or animal. The disease is diagnosed by examining stool samples. Healthcare providers should specifically request testing for Crypto. Routine ova and parasite testing does not normally include Crypto testing.

Most people with healthy immune systems will recover from cryptosporidiosis without treatment. The following actions may help relieve symptoms:. Over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medicine might help slow down diarrhea, but a healthcare provider should be consulted before such medicine is taken.

Twenty-three Among the Among all outbreaks, 65 Among the 22 foodborne outbreaks, nine The mode of transmission was unknown for 63 Molecular characterization data were available for 67 Negative binomial regression analysis indicated that during —, the overall annual number of reported cryptosporidiosis outbreaks increased an average of The annual number of reported treated recreational water—associated outbreaks increased an average of During —, the annual number of reported outbreaks associated with contact with cattle increased an average of During —, the overall number of reported cryptosporidiosis outbreaks by month peaked during July—August, the number associated with treated recreational water peaked in June—August, the number associated with cattle contact peaked during March—May, and those associated with contact with infected persons in child care settings peaked during July—September Figure 2.

The outbreaks characterized in this report highlight the public health importance of Cryptosporidium, which is the leading etiology of waterborne outbreaks 1 and the third leading etiology of enteric infections attributable to animal contact 2 in the United States. These factors should be considered in the development of effective cryptosporidiosis prevention measures.

The number of treated recreational water—associated outbreaks caused by Cryptosporidium drives the summer seasonal peak in both waterborne cryptosporidiosis outbreaks and cryptosporidiosis outbreaks overall.

The summer seasonal peak of cryptosporidiosis outbreaks associated with child care is similar to that of treated recreational water—associated outbreaks.

Consequently, community-wide cryptosporidiosis outbreaks, in which an outbreak associated with a single treated recreational water venue evolves into one associated with multiple venues and settings e. Thus, primary prevention of Cryptosporidium contamination is important. CDC recommends not swimming or attending child care if ill with diarrhea and not swimming for an additional 2 weeks after diarrhea has resolved.

Cryptosporidium contamination can be unavoidable and widespread in environments where ruminants such as cattle, goats, and sheep live. Cryptosporidium transmission from preweaned calves to humans has been well documented, and the spring seasonal peak in outbreaks associated with contact with cattle coincides with the spring calving season 7.

Cryptosporidium caused 13 outbreaks associated with unpasteurized milk or apple cider during — Outbreak sources might include contaminated udders, apples, or processing equipment. CDC recommends consumption of pasteurized milk and apple cider because of the risk for infection from unpasteurized products in general and the risk for severe illness in young children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised persons.

The findings in this report are subject to at least five limitations. First, the outbreaks described in this report likely underestimate the actual number of cryptosporidiosis outbreaks, and the reported number of cases likely underestimate the actual magnitude of individual outbreaks. Second, the advent of multipathogen molecular testing panels, which include Cryptosporidium , could have contributed to the increase in reported outbreaks in recent years. Third, requirements and capacity to detect, investigate, and report outbreaks vary across jurisdictions.
