Cryptosporidium is a parasitic organism that infects the small intestine of
numerous mammals, including humans, causing the disease cryptosporidiosis.
It is found in infected feces. A person or animal is infected when they
swallow the parasite.
Symptoms of Cryptosporidiosis include diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps and
fever. There is no cure or treatment for cryptosporidiosis, however, a healthy
person can fully recover although it can take up to 30 days. For those with
already weakened immune systems, including people with AIDS, cancer,
transplant patients and the elderly it is possible for symptoms to persist
indefinitely and cause death.
