The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention page on cryptosporidiosis resources
Cryptosporidiosis (Cryptosporidium Infection)
Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal disease caused by microscopic parasites of the genus Cryptosporidium. Both the disease and the parasite are commonly known as "Crypto."
Many species of Cryptosporidium exist that infect humans and a wide range of animals. The parasite is protected by an outer shell that allows it to survive outside the body for long periods of time and makes it very resistant to chlorine disinfection.
While this parasite can be transmitted in several different ways, water is a common method of transmission and Cryptosporidium is one of the most frequent causes of waterborne disease (drinking water and recreational water) among humans in the United States.
- The Campaign for Safe and Affordable Drinking Water's “Making Sense of ‘Right to Know' Reports” (pdf)
- The Department of Health and Human Services on the health effects of possible water contaminants
- To find a state-certified lab to test your water, see the EPA list of State Certification Officers for Drinking Water Laboratories
If you want to know what contaminants are in your drinking water, check your annual water quality report from your water supplier or call the water supplier directly. If you want to have additional tests on your water, EPA recommends that you use a laboratory certified by the state. Call the state certification officer or click the web link below to get a list of certified labs.
