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.
