Is cryptosporidium a virus fungus or bacteria?
It's neither.. its considered apart of the protist kingdom. Fungi have their own kingdom as does bacteria, animals, archaea and plants. Plants, Animals, Fungi and Protists are all called Eukaryotes because they all are similar in that they all have a nucleus and things called "membrane bound organelles". They are generally considered more complex then Archaea and Bacteria. The amazing thing about Eukaryotes is that originally they were once bacteria as well. However millions of years ago a bacteria engulfed another bacteria which kept living inside the other bacteria and released nutrients from inside the bacteria which actually helped it survive. That original bacteria turned into the "membrane bound organelles" we find in eukaryotes today!!!!!! The nucleus of the eukaryotes (which bacteria and archaea dont have) may have arisen from an engulfed virus but we still dont know if that is correct. :S Some Protists can cause infection while most don't.
Is there bacteria on bacteria?
There are no bacteria on other bacteria. Some bacteria do attack other bacteria by piercing their cell wall and injecting proteins.Viruses can attack bacteria. They are called bacteriophages.

What can cryptosporidium cause?
Cryptosporidium Parvum is a waterborne parasite encased in a leathery shell, or oocyst and causes severe flu-like symptoms when ingested. Once ingested the walls of the oocyst are softened by the digestive fluids in the stomach and small intestine. Tiny protozoa emerge and immediately begin to reproduce and infect the intestinal lining. This process impairs the small intestines ability to absorb water and nutrients, which causes the infected person or animal to expel the oocyst through diarrhea and vomiting Cryptosporidium is one of the most resistant parasites to water chemical treatments ever encountered. This makes treating water for Cryptosporidium very difficult. The parasite responds somewhat to chlorine but only in high doses and it is resistant to many commonly used hospital and laboratory disinfectants. To date, it seems Cryptosporidium can be removed only by filtration.
