Effects of environmental change on emerging parasitic diseases.
TL;DR: The combined effects of environmentally detrimental changes in local land use and alterations in global climate disrupt the natural ecosystem and can increase the risk of transmission of parasitic diseases to the human population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular epidemiology of cryptosporidiosis: an update.
TL;DR: The wide use of a new generation of genotyping and subtyping tools in well designed epidemiologic studies should lead to a more in-depth understanding of the epidemiology of cryptosporidiosis in humans and animals.

The Association Between Extreme Precipitation and Waterborne Disease Outbreaks in the United States, 1948–1994
TL;DR: The statistically significant association found between rainfall and disease in the United States is important for water managers, public health officials, and risk assessors of future climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of Cryptosporidium: transmission, detection and identification.
TL;DR: This paper reviews the valid species of Cryptosporidium, their hosts and morphometrics; the reported hosts for the human pathogen, C. parvum; the mechanisms of transmission; the drinking water, recreational water, and food-borne outbreaks resulting from infection with C.parvum%; and the microscopic, immunological, and molecular methods used to detect and identify species and genotypes.

Journal ArticleDOI
A massive outbreak in Milwaukee of cryptosporidium infection transmitted through the public water supply
Mac Kenzie Wr,N J Hoxie,Proctor Me,Gradus Ms,K A Blair,Peterson De,Kazmierczak Jj,David G. Addiss,Fox Kr,Joan B. Rose +9 more
TL;DR: This massive outbreak of watery diarrhea among the residents of Milwaukee was caused by cryptosporidium oocysts that passed through the filtration system of one of the city's water-treatment plants, and water-quality standards and the testing of patients for cryptOSporidium were not adequate to detect this outbreak.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of ozone, chlorine dioxide, chlorine, and monochloramine on Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst viability.
TL;DR: The data indicate that C. parvum oocysts are 30 times moreresistant to ozone and 14 times more resistant to chlorine dioxide than Giardia cysts exposed to these disinfectants under the same conditions.
