Cryptosporidiosis (commonly referred to as ‘crypto’) is a diarrheal illness caused by chlorine-resistant protozoa from the genus Cryptosporidium. The organism is transmitted by ingestion of oocysts excreted in the feces of infected humans or animals. Many species of Cryptosporidium exist, but Cryptosporidium hominis is the most common species causing disease in humans.
