Cryptosporidium: What you need to know
Cryptosporidium is a microscopic parasite which can cause diarrhoeal illness (cryptosporidiosis) in humans and animals. The organism is common in farm and domestic animals and spread via manure. The organism is present in the environment at low levels all year round, but levels increase during springtime when heavy rain washes the parasite into the ground and into rivers. Water supplies may be vulnerable to contamination with Cryptosporidium at these times.
Human infection can be via contact with farm animals or contaminated drinking water. Person-to-person spread is an important source of infection and personal hygiene is very important, to prevent such spread.
If you operate a food business and are concerned about Cryptosporidiosis and ensuring food safety, contact us now for expert advice.
