Cryptosporidiosis and swimming pools
Cryptosporidiosis is a predominantly waterborne disease with infections caused by contaminated drinking water, swimming pools, water features, natural waters, or acquired by animal and human contact and a range of other routes. The organism is a particular problem for swimming pools and drinking water because the oocysts are resistant to chlorine based disinfectants.
