The global burden of this disease is still underascertained, due to a conundrum transmission modality, only partially unveiled, and on a plethora of detection systems still inadequate or only partially applied for worldwide surveillance. In children, cryptosporidiosis encumber is even less recorded and often misidentified due to physiological reasons such as early-age unpaired immunological response. Furthermore, malnutrition in underdeveloped countries or clinical underestimation of protozoan etiology in developed countries contribute to the underestimation of the worldwide burden. Principal key indicators of the parasite distribution were associated to environmental (e.g., geographic and temporal clusters, etc.) and host determinants of the infection (e.g., age, immunological status, travels, community behaviours). The distribution was geographically mapped to provide an updated picture of the global parasite ecosystems. The present paper aims to provide, by a critical analysis of existing literature, a link between observational epidemiological records and new insights on public health, and diagnostic and clinical impact of cryptosporidiosis.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Goodgame, Rw" uniqKey="Goodgame R">RW

Introduction</title><sec sec-type="subsection" id="sec1.1"><title>1.1. The Cryptosporidium Parasite: General Description</title><p>Infections of the human gastrointestinal tract with enteric pathogens are among the leading causes of disease, suffering, and death worldwide. Enteric pathogens are ingested with contaminated water and food and pass through the entire gastrointestinal tract. After establishment in a host, the infection spread to new hosts by a subsequent shedding. The most important and prevalent infections of the small intestine are caused by diarrheagenic <italic>Escherichia coli</italic>, particularly enterotoxigenic and enteropathogenic <italic>E. coli</italic>, Rotavirus, <italic>Giardia lamblia</italic>, and <italic>Cryptosporidium parvum</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>]. Particularly, more than 58 million cases of diarrhea detected per year in children are associated to intestinal protozoa infections with high morbidity and mortality infection rates [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>].<italic> Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. are oocysts-forming apicomplexan protozoa. Following ingestion, the oocyst excystation, releases sporozoites which invade enterocytes. The excysted parasites undergo asexual (<italic>merogony</italic>) and sexual multiplication (<italic>gametogony</italic>) producing macrogametocytes and microgametocytes. Upon fertilization of the macrogametocytes by microgametes a zygotes is developed which sporulates (<italic>sporogony</italic>), generating <italic>thin-walled</italic> oocysts, involved in autoinfection and <italic>thick-walled</italic> oocysts excreted from the host (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>). Once released in the environment, the parasite may cause enteric infection (cryptosporidiosis) both in humans and animals, mainly transmitted via the fecal-oral route through a zoonotic or <italic>anthroponotic</italic> modality or via contaminated water or food (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>). In humans the disease results in sickness and severe diarrhea and can be life threatening in the very young, elderly and in immunosuppressed individuals, particularly those with HIV infection [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>]. Contamination of drinking water by <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> can result in major waterborne outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]; additionally the <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> is now increasingly considered an important foodborne pathogen [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>] causing a disease of socioeconomic significance worldwide. Three features of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. ensure a high level of environmental contamination and increase the likelihood of waterborne transmission. Firstly, they are responsible for disease in a broad range of hosts including man [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>], have a low-infectious dose (10–30 oocysts) enhancing the possibility of infection also in healthy immunocompetent people [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>], which may shed 10<sup>8</sup>-10<sup>9</sup> oocysts in a single bowel movement and excrete oocysts for up to 50 days after cessation of diarrhea [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>]; secondly, their transmissive stages (oocysts) are small in size and environmentally robust [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>] and thirdly, they are insensitive to the normal disinfectants commonly used in the water industry [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>].</p></sec><sec sec-type="subsection" id="sec1.2"><title>1.2. Cryptosporidium Species and Human Infection</title><p>Since the genus <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> was established for <italic>Cryptosporidium muris</italic> by Tyzzer in 1907, 37 species names have been introduced. However, after redescription and confirmation, currently 21 names are associated with individual species [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>] and 16 species are actually regarded as valid on the basis of different oocyst morphology, site of infection, vertebrate class specificity, and genetic differences: <italic>C. muris</italic> in rodents; <italic>Cryptosporidium andersoni</italic> and <italic>Cryptosporidium bovis</italic> in cattle and sheep; <italic>Cryptosporidium suis</italic> in pigs; <italic>C. parvum</italic> in cattle, humans, and other mammals; <italic>Cryptosporidium meleagridis</italic> in birds and humans; <italic>Cryptosporidium hominis</italic> in humans; <italic>Cryptosporidium baileyi</italic> and <italic>Cryptosporidium galli</italic> in birds; <italic>Cryptosporidium serpentis</italic> and <italic>Cryptosporidium saurophilum</italic> in snakes and lizards; <italic>Cryptosporidium molnari </italic>and <italic>Cryptosporidium scophthalmi</italic> in fish; <italic>Cryptosporidium wrairi</italic> in guinea pigs; <italic>Cryptosporidium felis</italic> in cats; <italic>Cryptosporidium canis</italic> in dogs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>]. The majority of these have a dominant host, but they are accidentally found in possibly unusual hosts. Remarkably, <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> parasites are not related to other coccidians and the major recognised species in <italic>Cryptosporidium </italic>separate into two broad groups, with <italic>C. muris</italic> and <italic>C. serpentis</italic> forming one group and <italic>C. parvum</italic>, <italic>C. felis</italic>, <italic>C. wrairi</italic>, <italic>C. meleagridis</italic>, and <italic>C. baileyi</italic> forming a second broad group [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref>]. The accurate identification and characterisation of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> species and population variants are now central in the new taxonomic classification of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> species and in the categorization of genotypes or subtypes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>]. The picture that is emerging as a result of molecular studies clearly indicates that the species level taxonomy of the genus does not reflects the current molecular phylogenetic analyses or epidemiological data, which show high inter- and intraspecific variation, and warrants reappraisal [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref>]. The vast majority of human cases of cryptosporidiosis worldwide are mainly caused by two species, <italic>C. parvum</italic> and <italic>C. hominis </italic>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref>]. However other species, including <italic>C. felis</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>], <italic>C. meleagridis</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">24</xref>], <italic>C. canis</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref>], <italic>C. suis</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>], <italic>C. muris</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">26</xref>], and more rarely <italic>C. baileyi</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">27</xref>] can infect humans too, especially children under the age of 5 years and immunocompromised individuals [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">28</xref>]. All <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> species are transmitted in the various hosts by ingestion and inhalation of oocysts, irrespective of the species types. However, the clinical and epidemiological significance of various <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> species and subtypes in humans is not yet clear. Results of recent genotyping studies nevertheless support the theory that <italic>C. hominis</italic> and <italic>C. parvum </italic>behave differently in humans especially with reference to the specificity of the clinical presentation. In <italic>C. hominis </italic>cases, nongastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., joint pain, eye pain, headache, dizziness and fatigue) are seen more often than in cases of <italic>C. parvum</italic>. Furthermore in young children, infections with <italic>C. hominis</italic> and, if symptomatic, <italic>C. parvum</italic>, are often heavy associated with fecal lactoferrin and growth shortfalls. <italic>C. hominis</italic> appears to stimulate inflammation irrespective of age; this raises important questions regarding how it may specifically induce greater proinflammatory response [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">29</xref>].</p></sec><sec sec-type="subsection" id="sec1.3"><title>1.3. Transmission Modes and Risk Factors</title><sec sec-type="subsubsection" id="sec1.3.1"><title>1.3.1. Impact of Water Livestock on Transmission</title><p>Waterborne contamination is a growing concern causing widespread disease outbreaks. Factors that have contributed to the emergence of cryptosporidiosis in animals include increased environmental contamination and trends in livestock production. In humans the zoonotic nature of infection, along with increased numbers of at-risk population have contributed to the rate intensification of the disease [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">30</xref>]. Risk factors for waterborne infections are deduced primarily from outbreak surveillance data. However, in the USA, only a fraction of the estimated water-related outbreaks are reported through passive surveillance [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>]. While the outbreak epidemiology due to cryptosporidiosis is still a matter of concern, despite objective definition and identification of outbreak [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>], the epidemiology of sporadic (non-outbreak-related) cases is largely unknown. Few papers have reported studies using the Geographical Information System (GIS) methods to map the locations of residences of sporadic cases or to assess ecosystems of cryptosporidiosis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">33</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">36</xref>]. In the last few years a plethora of literature has been focusing on the description of advanced molecular markers and technologies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B37">37</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B41">41</xref>], population structures [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">42</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B44">44</xref>], genetic variation of the parasite [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B45">45</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B46">46</xref>], and linkage to its complex epidemiology [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B47">47</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">50</xref>].</p></sec><sec sec-type="subsubsection" id="sec1.3.2"><title>1.3.2. Impact of Climate and Weather on Transmission</title><p>A seasonal incidence of infection is sometimes present, possibly corresponding to rainfall peaks, increased pollution from farm waste, or calving and lambing activities [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">51</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">52</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab1">Table 1</xref>). Pivotal works have thoroughly investigated the seasonality of cryptosporidiosis also for children, showing highest prevalence from October to March. Such pattern may suggest a possible relationship with child care centre attendance in Europe [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">53</xref>], or provide correlation between seasonality and endemicity in Africa [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B54">54</xref>]. Recently, a meta-analysis has examined the seasonal patterns of cryptosporidiosis, with relation to precipitation and temperature fluctuations worldwide [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">55</xref>], according to the geographical <italic>Köppen Climate Classification</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B56">56</xref>]. Outcome data were linked to monthly ambient temperature and precipitation for each location and, for the Sub-Saharan Africa, to the <italic>Normalized Difference Vegetation Index</italic>, a remote sensing measure for the combined effects of temperature and precipitation on vegetation and cryptosporidiosis. Strong seasonal drivers for cryptosporidiosis showed precipitation in moist tropical locations and temperature in mid-latitude and temperate climates [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">55</xref>]. While climatic conditions typically define a pathogen habitat area, meteorological factors affect timing and intensity of seasonal outbreaks. Therefore, seasonality and meteorological forecasts can represent a key indicator and tool, respectively, to plan prevention programs for waterborne cryptosporidiosis (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab1">Table 1</xref>).</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="subsection" id="sec1.4"><title>1.4. Cryptosporidiosis a “Neglected Disease” and a Poverty Index</title><p>In developing countries the impact of protozoan pathogens represents a major cause of gastrointestinal illnesses and is becoming of growing impact, also because new epidemiological markers and indicators of infection are allowing researchers and clinicians to strengthen surveillance programs and diagnostic procedures [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">36</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B44">44</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">57</xref>]. However, a large proportion of diarrhoeal illnesses in these countries, especially in children, are still ascribed to an unknown etiology, often because the only available detection methods, such as microscopy and culture used in many areas, have low sensitivity. Particularly, <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia </italic>are still major causes of diarrhoeal diseases of humans worldwide, and are included in the <italic>World Health Organisation</italic>'s <italic>Neglected Diseases Initiative</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">58</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B59">59</xref>].

In the last few years, in low-income countries, an enhanced attention has been directed to the observation of symptom variation, which may provide a successful index for wholesale effective surveillance programs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">50</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B61">61</xref>]. A recent extensive study was performed in Bangladesh on 3646 case patients, who presented with diarrhea [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B61">61</xref>]. The study assessed the proportion of diarrhea cases attributable to <italic>C. hominis</italic>, <italic>C. parvum</italic>, <italic>Entamoeba histolytica</italic>, and <italic>G. lamblia</italic>. <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> species and <italic>E. histolytica</italic> were more prevalent in patients with acute diarrhea, all ages and, specifically, those from 0 to12 months of age. Remarkably, patients with diarrhea and cryptosporidiosis were less likely to have abdominal pain; patients with amebiasis were more likely to have visible blood in stool; patients with giardiasis were more likely to be dehydrated, compared with control subjects [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B61">61</xref>]. Recently, clinical symptoms such as abdominal pain and/or diarrhoea were selected as key indicators of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> infections in patients in Belgium (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">62</xref>].</p></sec><sec sec-type="subsection" id="sec1.6"><title>1.6. Epidemiology of Cryptosporidium Species</title><p><italic>C. hominis</italic> and <italic>C. parvum </italic>are the major causing agents of human cryptosporidiosis both in immunocompetent and in immunocompromised individuals but their prevalence varies in different regions of the world [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">49</xref>]. Macroepidemiological analyses showed that <italic>C. hominis</italic> is more prevalent in North and South America, Australia, and Africa, whereas <italic>C. parvum</italic> causes more human infections in Europe, especially in the UK [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">49</xref>]. Particularly, <italic>C. meleagridis</italic> can be confirmed as an emerging human pathogen, being responsible for 1% of all infections in England [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">49</xref>] and about 10% in Perù, where its prevalence is as high as for <italic>C. parvum</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">50</xref>]. A recent important long-term typing overview reported the epidemiology of human cryptosporidiosis in the UK (England and Wales) by analysing 8,000 <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> isolates which were submitted for typing from 2000 to 2003 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">63</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>). The majority were either <italic>C. parvum </italic>or <italic>C. hominis</italic>. Six other known <italic>Cryptosporidium </italic>species or genotypes were found: <italic>C. meleagridis</italic>, <italic>C. felis</italic>, <italic>C. canis</italic>, and the <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> cervine [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B64">64</xref>], horse and skunk [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B65">65</xref>] genotypes. This study showed that epidemiology differed among infecting species (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>). <italic>C. parvum</italic> cases were younger, although <italic>C. hominis</italic> was more prevalent in infants under one year and in females aged 15 to 44 years. Spring peaks were due to <italic>C. parvum, </italic>while<italic> C. hominis </italic>was more prevalent during the late Summer and early Autumn as well as in patients reporting recent travel abroad [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">63</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab1">Table 1</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>) (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>). <italic>C. parvum </italic>and <italic>C. hominis</italic> are two species responsible for most human cases of cryptosporidiosis. The relationship between the global population structure of these species and the host population arrangement was thoroughly investigated by the study of Tanriverdi et al., 2008 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B66">66</xref>], in which a series of worldwide <italic>C. parvum</italic> and <italic>C. hominis</italic> isolates were genotyped. Geographical partitions or patterns for both parasite species were observed among the countries (Uganda, Serbia, Turkey, Israel, UK, USA, and New Zealand), possibly because of different prevailing ecological determinants of transmission [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B66">66</xref>]. Rather than conforming to a strict paradigm of either a clonal or a panmictic population structure [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B43">43</xref>], these data seem to suggest a flexible reproductive strategy characterized by the cooccurrence of both propagation patterns. </p><p>A predominance of <italic>C. hominis</italic> was observed in persons in developing countries, such as pediatric populations from Perù [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">26</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">50</xref>], Malawi [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B67">67</xref>], Kenya [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">68</xref>], India [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">36</xref>], Haiti [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">69</xref>], and Brazil [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B70">70</xref>], children and elderly persons from South Africa [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B71">71</xref>], and hospitalized HIV-infected children from South Africa [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">72</xref>] and Uganda [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B73">73</xref>]. A comparatively large proportion of participants infected with <italic>C. meleagridis</italic> was observed in a wide community in Haiti [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">69</xref>], a finding that was also reported at a high frequency in HIV-infected adults in Perù [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B74">74</xref>].

Interestingly, the predominant species was <italic>C. hominis</italic> followed by <italic>C. meleagridis</italic>.

The Ib identified subtypes (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B41">41</xref>], were very different from the subtypes IbA9G3 and IbA10G2 commonly found in other areas of the world. The IbA9G3 is usually observed in humans in Kenya, India, and Australia, and IbA10G2 is commonly seen in South Africa, Perù, USA, Canada, Australia, and European countries, as France, UK, Portugal, Spain and Ireland [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">50</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">68</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">72</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B83">78</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B84">84</xref>]; IbA10G2 is responsible for more than half of the waterborne outbreaks in USA, and Canada [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B85">85</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B86">86</xref>]. Likewise, the IeA12G3T3 was different from the most common IeA11G3T3 subtype, although observed also in Louisiana, Australia, and Jamaica [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">79</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B87">87</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B88">88</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>).

The worldwide literature produced so far highlights the need to pursue on detailed molecular epidemiological studies (e.g., GP60), especially in “neglected” geographical regions and from a wide range of hosts species. Indeed researchers have to address the key question if the low diversity associated to the substantial richness of the GP60 locus is due to the genetics of the organism or to a lack of data from countries with potential endemic transmissions (Africa, South east, China, and India subcontinents) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B90">90</xref>].

The study demonstrated that a broad and improved diagnostic activity in reference laboratories was able to better describe cryptosporidiosis, reflecting the real occurrence of this infection, often underestimated. The yearly incidence rate of 1.9 notified cases per 100 000 population within Lower Saxony exceeded the German mean incidence rate of 1.5. In several neighbouring districts there was a striking heterogeneity of regional incidences.

Diagnostic work was done by valid, specific, CE-certified procedures. The inferred conclusion was that the increased regional incidence rate was caused by the extensive diagnostic activity of this laboratory, presuming an underestimation in other regions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B91">91</xref>].

Geographically, the outbreaks seem to be concentrated in the USA, Canada, Australia and in Europe, especially in the UK and Ireland and appear to affect both adults and children (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab4">Table 4</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>). Worldwide environmental and veterinary surveillance data reveal the presence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. in the entire water-treatment system, which represents an unacceptable health risk, particularly in sensitive (pregnant women, children) and immunocompromised populations (HIV-positive and transplanted patients). Such evidence suggests that focus ought to be placed on prevention of human and animal waste contamination especially in authorized recreational waters, and in a few cases also in well-maintained community swimming pools treated by supplemental disinfection treatment. Remarkably, cryptosporidiosis is nowadays the most frequently reported gastrointestinal illness in outbreaks associated with treated (disinfected) recreational water venues in USA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B137">92</xref>]. However, microbiological surveillance should be also directed to other fresh waters, affected by occasional peaks of contamination, owing to heavly rainfall going through fields to lakes, or by high-contamination events that might occur upstream from the sampling river sites irrigation. In USA, where large episodes of cryptosporidiosis are detected, public water treatments should steadily adhere to USA Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulations to improve water quality, aquatic venue design, usage, and maintenance and to update the Center for diseases control and prevention (CDC) surveillance programs with periodical reports on etiologic agents, failures of water-treatment systems, and deficiencies associated with outbreak management [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B138">93</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab3">Table 3</xref>). In developed countries, the detection of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> should be an integral part of the quality system in the water industry and multidisciplinary approaches among public health professionals (epidemiologists, clinicians and parasitologists) should be routinely included to establish priorities in public health prevention programs and to design appropriate operational workflows for both detection and diagnosis. In developing countries the potential of infection is enhanced by the absence of sanitary and parasitological drinking water monitoring. Moreover the burden of the infection is surely underestimated for the small number of appropriate surveillance programs and for the absence of suitable diagnostic algorithms.</p></sec><sec sec-type="subsection" id="sec3.2"><title>3.2. Waterborne Cryptosporidiosis in Europe</title><p>Recently, in Europe, the circulation of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. populations has been thoroughly investigated because of the improved surveillance and diagnosis of both sporadic cases and outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab4">Table 4</xref>). From a waterborne outbreak of diarrhea in France, the 91% of the isolates of the parasite were characterised as <italic>C. hominis</italic> type Ib [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B86">86</xref>], consistently with the current idea that Ib is the predominant allele associated with waterborne cryptosporidiosis worldwide [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">79</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B80">81</xref>]. </p><p>Earlier evidence had suggested that accidental ingestion of natural waters while bathing carries a risk of infection by waterborne protozoa both in UK and USA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B139">94</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B140">95</xref>]. In order to evaluate this risk in France, a one-year prospective study on recreational lakes and river sites located near Paris, chosen for frequent bathing and boating, was undertaken (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B141">96</xref>]. <italic>Giardia</italic> cysts and <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> oocysts were detected in the recreational lakes with occasional peaks and in the river sites throughout all the year. Genetic characterization of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> revealed the presence of both <italic>C. hominis</italic> and <italic>C. parvum </italic>species (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>). Based on a model for <italic>quantitative microbial risk assessment</italic> (QMRA), the study confirmed that bathing in surface waters was actually associated with a significant risk of infection by <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> or <italic>Giardia</italic>. This was especially the case for rivers not protected from human or animal fecal contamination. Surface waters, especially in rural areas, may be soiled by contaminated farmyard manure or slurry used as fertiliser for crop cultivation. Pasturing of infected livestock near crops or defaecation of infected undomesticated hosts onto them is an important factor for zoonotic contamination [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>]. Also sludges, night soil, and raw waters may contribute to worldwide water pollution [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B142">97</xref>]. Recently, as inferred by outbreak surveillance data, recreational, drinking and fountain waters have been identified as important source of community infections worldwide (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab4">Table 4</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]. In Ireland, as several recent waterborne outbreaks have shown (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab4">Table 4</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B79">80</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B98">98</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B120">99</xref>] and as thoroughly discussed by the latest paper of Cheng et al., 2009 on the presence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> in wastewater treatment plants [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B143">100</xref>], cryptosporidiosis poses a significant threat to public health. In a recent study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">51</xref>], performed on human stool samples collected in diversified geographical areas of Ireland, <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. were genetically characterised (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>). Overall, <italic>C. parvum</italic> was identified in 80% and <italic>C. hominis</italic> in 20% of cases, with an higher proportion in older age groups. <italic>C. parvum</italic> was the most common species in the rural, more sparsely populated West of Ireland and exhibited a pronounced Spring peak coincident with the peak of the national cryptosporidiosis incidence rate. The most common <italic>C. parvum </italic>subgenotype (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>) was the same detected in Irish cattle [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B144">101</xref>] confirming the prevalence of zoonotic <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> transmission in Ireland. </p><p>In Holland, water in canals and recreational lakes are contaminated through the discharge of raw sewage from houseboats, sewage effluent, dog and bird feces. During two successive one-year study periods, the water quality in canals and recreational lakes was tested in Amsterdam with regard to the presence of fecal indicators and waterborne pathogens [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B145">102</xref>]. <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> oocysts and <italic>Giardia</italic> cysts were detected both in canals and recreational lakes, despite conformity with the European bathing water legislation, indicating these parasites as health risk pathogens for situations of exposure to surface waters [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B145">102</xref>]. </p><p>A significant study was undertaken to monitor the presence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> in water samples, including raw and treated waters from both surface and ground sources in Portugal [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B146">103</xref>]. <italic>C. parvum</italic> was the most common detected species, followed by <italic>C. hominis</italic>, <italic>C. andersoni</italic>, and <italic>C. muris</italic>. These results are clearly suggestive of a wide distribution of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. in source and treated waters in Portugal, with high occurrence of human-pathogenic <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> genotypes (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B146">103</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B147">104</xref>]. </p><p>An important survey of sewage influent samples from 40 Sewage Treatment Works (STWs) throughout Norway were examined for <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> oocysts and <italic>G. duodenalis</italic> cysts [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B148">105</xref>]. The data propose giardiasis as more widespread, and occurring with greater infection intensity than cryptosporidiosis: for <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic>, the highest estimate was up to 5 per 100 000 individuals in Eastern Norway while for <italic>Giardia</italic> 40 per 100 000 persons in Western Norway. Removal efficiencies at two STW with secondary treatment processes were estimated to be approximately 50% for <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and >80% for <italic>Giardia</italic>. A STW with minimal treatment had negligible removal of both parasites. Because many STW in Norway have indeed minimal treatment and discharge effluent into rivers and lakes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B148">105</xref>], thus, risk of contamination of water courses by <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> represents a considerable risk in this country. Contamination from sewage discharges and wild or domestic animals are also important sources for untreated waters [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B142">97</xref>]. Both <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia </italic>are frequently found in the stool of domestic ruminants, especially young animals. Wild ruminants may serve as reservoirs for these zoonotic parasites, as inferred from an important cross-sectional survey conducted in Belgium to estimate the occurrence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> in captive wild young ruminants.

Waterborne Cryptosporidodis in Italy</title><p>In Italy, an intense debate on the epidemiological and public health aspects of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> infections has involved many researchers and has lead to investigate infection prevalence data especially on environmental and animal samples but less on human samples because cryptosporidiosis is not a notifiable disease in Italy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B151">108</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B153">110</xref>] (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5</xref>). Protocols recommended by the <italic>National Institute of Health</italic> are mainly used for detection of these protozoa in raw and drinking water while other no well-standardised procedures are available for wastewater [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B152">109</xref>]. However, raw, reclaimed and drinking water are not subjected to routine monitoring. In surface waters (rivers, watersheds, watercourses and lakes), several studies have reported high contaminations by (oo)cysts of <italic>Giardia</italic> and<italic> Cryptosporidium</italic> all over the peninsula with the highest prevalence for <italic>Giardia</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B154">111</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B157">114</xref>]. Presence of both <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> has been monitored in sewage, surface waters, drinking water, and swimming pools by simultaneous tracing of bacterial indicators. In the Latium and Apulia regions, cysts and oocysts were detected in sewage and surface water, with <italic>Giardia </italic>numbers always prevailing over <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic>, but not in drinking waters. However, remarkably, <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> was detected in 9% of samples collected from swimming pools in the Latium [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B155">112</xref>]. The paper by Di Benedetto et al., 2005 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B156">113</xref>] described the occurrence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> (oo)cysts in water samples of two municipal treatment plants, and in surface and ground water wells in Sicily. The wastewater samples taken before and after treatment process were assayed over the course of one year: <italic>Giardia</italic> cysts were detected in all samples throught the year at higher concentration levels than <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> oocysts, subjected to a peak during Spring. Cysts were detected in one lake at very low concentration; on the contrary, both parasites were found at high-concentration levels in all samples collected through one year from the river waters. The pattern of occurrence of both parasites showed temporal-related relationship to rainfall trend (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab1">Table 1</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>). In the Tuscan area, five drinking water treatment plants, differing for the employed handling, were monitored for the presence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> (oo)cysts, to estimate the removal capacity of each plant [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B157">114</xref>]. Water samples (from inflow raw water and outflow drinking water) were analysed during a one-year survey and both protozoa were detected. The occurrence of (oo)cysts was not associated with seasonality, turbidity or <italic>C. perfringens</italic>, but however low performance of plants was correlated with presence of protozoa in outflow drinking waters. <italic>Giardia</italic> cyst and <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> oocyst removal efficiency was also evaluated in a wastewater tertiary treatment system based on membrane ultrafiltration and fed with secondary-treated municipal wastewater in Apulia: <italic>G. duodenalis</italic> and <italic>C. parvum</italic> were identified in feed water but were found in filtered water only during occasional failure of the filtration system [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B158">115</xref>]. Also in raw sewage and primary effluent more <italic>Giardia</italic> cysts than <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> oocysts were detected in many monitoring studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B155">112</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B156">113</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B159">116</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B160">117</xref>]. </p><p>Annual rainfall reduction in some regions and increased human consumption have caused a shortage of water resources at global level. The recycling of treated wastewaters has been therefore suggested for domestic, industrial, and agricultural activities. <italic>Giardia</italic> and <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> are known to be highly resistant to water treatment procedures and to cause outbreaks through contaminated raw or treated water. The study by Cacciò et al., 2003 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B160">117</xref>] performed an investigation in four wastewater treatment plants in Lombardia, Campania, Sardinia, Sicily by sampling wastewater at each stage of the treatment process over the course of one year, and testing the presence of both parasites. While <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> oocysts were rarely observed, <italic>Giardia</italic> cysts were detected in all samples throughout the year, with peaks observed in Autumn and Winter. The massive amounts of feces from humans and animals are discharged, dumped, or carried in runoff, bringing encysted zoonotic protozoan parasites to estuaries and coastal waters, where they contaminate bathing beaches, and are finally filtered and concentrated by shellfish eaten by humans and marine mammals, and infect a wide range of marine animal hosts, resulting in morbidity and mortality to some populations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B161">118</xref>]. Therefore, nearshore marine sites may be considered at higher risk for exposure to livestock runoff, human sewage, or both fecal sources. Bivalves filter large volumes of water and can concentrate organisms which are pathogenic for humans and animals. In a recent paper [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B162">119</xref>] the presence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. in clams (<italic>Chamelea gallina</italic>) from the Adriatic coast (Abruzzo) was reported for the first time. The temporal occurrence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> (<italic>C. hominis </italic>and <italic>C. parvum</italic>) oocysts in <italic>Ruditapes philippinarum </italic>were evaluated in two farms located in Veneto and in Friuli Venezia Giulia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B163">120</xref>]. The paper of Giangaspero et al., 2009 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B164">121</xref>], has simultaneously investigated the presence of <italic>Giardia</italic> and <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> in inflowing water and harvested shellfish (<italic>Ruditapes decussatus</italic> and <italic>Mytilus galloprovincialis</italic>) in geographically closed environment (Varano Lagoon, Apulia). Higher concentrations of <italic>Giardia</italic> cysts than <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> oocysts were registered in almost all wastewater and water samples, but testing of shellfish gave negative results for both protozoa. However, <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> (<italic>C. parvum</italic>, <italic>C. felis</italic>, <italic>C. andersoni</italic>, and two novel genotypes) was detected in haemolymph samples from mussels in California [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B165">122</xref>]. In this paper, factors significantly associated with detection of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. in mussel batches were exposure to freshwater outflow and collection within a week following a precipitation event, while no correlation was found with exposure to livestock feces or human sewage sources. Remarkably, mussels were proposed as tracer to monitor water quality, suggesting that humans and animals ingesting shellfish may be exposed to both host-specific and anthropozoonotic <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> genotypes of public health significance [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B165">122</xref>].</p><p>In the last decade, a major concern for the scientific community has been whether infected animals can serve as reservoirs of <italic>Giardia</italic> and <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> infection for humans. The paper by Giangaspero et al., 2007 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B152">109</xref>], presented data on prevalence and molecular genotyping from several sample types (companion animals, sheep, cattle, goats, wastewaters, surface water, shellfish, and humans) collected in the Italian territory. Several species/genotypes of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> have a relevant zoonotic potential and ruminants may be important sources of infection for human beings [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B149">106</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B151">108</xref>]. Cryptosporidiosis causes important economic losses to animal husbandry and livestock production. To obtain information on the occurrence of cryptosporidiosis in lambs and the potential zoonotic role of the <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> isolates, fecal samples collected from lambs in Central Italy (Abruzzo) were examined for the presence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and discussed in the paper by Paoletti et al., 2009 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B166">123</xref>]. All positive samples were characterised as zoonotic <italic>C. parvum </italic>genotype suggesting a potential public health hazard in Italy. Also the risk related to bovine zoonotic contribution was studied by Duranti et al., 2009 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B167">124</xref>] by considering 248 farms in Central Italy (Latium and Marche). In all positive samples, the etiological agent was identified as <italic>C. parvum</italic> with a large subtype genetic variability. The prevalence of farm infection ranged from 3.4% to 35.6% and appeared related to putative risk factors such as farm type, calve stalling, late supply of colostrum, number of heads and contact between calves and adults. However, the highest risk was associated with housing calves separately from their dams, whereas dam nursing resulted as a protective factor. This important evidence consistently agrees with the role of maternal milk as protective factor against cryptosporidiosis onset both in animals [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B168">125</xref>] and in humans [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B169">126</xref>].</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="subsection" id="sec3.3"><title>3.3. Waterborne Cryptosporidosis in USA and Canada</title><p>Besides zoonotic transmission, an important identified waterborne infection route is linked to recreational waters [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>]. A cryptosporidiosis outbreak from August to September 2004 in California, affected more than 250 people visiting a waterpark [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B112">127</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab4">Table 4</xref>). Occurring more than a decade after the first reported outbreak of cryptosporidiosis in a swimming pool [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B170">128</xref>], this outbreak demonstrates that recreational waters may represent a highly potential infection vehicle especially in childhood. Recently in USA <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> species have emerged as a major cause of outbreaks of diarrhoea [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>] and have been associated with consumption of contaminated recreational and drinking waters and with the attendance to child-care programmes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B171">129</xref>]. Principal risk factors for infection seem to coincide with swallowing untreated water from a lake, river, or after exposure to recreational water or, remarkably, after contact with a child in a child-care programme or with diapers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B171">129</xref>] (see <xref ref-type="sec" rid="sec7">Section 7</xref>). Although exposure to recreational water is commonly implicated in summertime cryptosporidiosis outbreaks, this evidence demonstrates that investigations of increased incidence of cases in Summer should also examine other potential risk factors, addressing the multiple transmission routes for <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic>. The extended review of Craun et al. 2005 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B172">130</xref>], on outbreaks associated with recreational water during 1971–2000 in USA, provided evidence that bacterial or protozoan etiology was identified in three-quarters of the outbreaks. Outbreaks caused by <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> were primarily associated with treated water in swimming and wading pools. Contamination from sewage discharges and wild or domestic animals were also recognized as important sources for untreated waters. Contributing factors in swimming-pool outbreaks were inadequate attention to maintenance, operation, disinfection, and filtration [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B173">131</xref>]. For the 764 waterborne outbreaks registered from 1971 to 2002 by the USA <italic>National Surveillance of outbreaks</italic> and associated with drinking water, 575 457 cases of illness and 79 deaths were reported [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B174">132</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B175">133</xref>]. If properly applied, current protocols in municipal water treatment are effective at eliminating pathogens from water. However, inadequate, interrupted, or intermittent treatment has repeatedly been associated with incidence of waterborne disease outbreaks. Contamination is affected by the number of pathogens in the source water, the age of the distribution system, the quality of the delivered water, and climatic events that can tax treatment plant operations. Furthermore, private water supplies are not regulated by the USEPA and are generally not treated or monitored [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B176">134</xref>]. </p><p>A case-control study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B177">135</xref>] was conducted in the San Francisco Bay Area as part of a national study sponsored by the CDC [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B178">136</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab3">Table 3</xref>) to ascertain the major routes of transmission for endemic cryptosporidiosis, with an emphasis on evaluating risk from drinking water. Drinking and recreational water, food items, travel, animal contact, person-to-person fecal contact, and (for adults) sexual practices were evaluated as major exposures. The study showed no significant association between cryptosporidiosis and drinking water among the immunocompetent population in the San Francisco Bay, and therefore, the key risk factor for cryptosporidiosis in this area was identified in travelling to another country [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B177">135</xref>].</p><p>The recent paper by Reynolds et al., 2008 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B179">137</xref>] has provided estimates of waterborne infection and illness risks in the USA by considering the correlation between the total number of water systems, source water type, total populations exposed, and microbial infection. The results indicated 10.7 × 10<sup>6</sup> and 2.2 × 10<sup>6</sup> infections/year in populations served by community and noncommunity groundwater systems, respectively, and 26.0 × 10<sup>6</sup> infections/year in populations with municipal surface water system services. Water purification technologies applied at the <italic>point-of-use </italic>(POU) could be effective for limiting the effects of source water contamination, treatment plant inadequacies, minor intrusions in the distribution system, or deliberate posttreatment acts as bioterrorism (i.e. <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> is a Category B bioterrorist threat) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B138">93</xref>]. However, epidemiological studies are conflicting on the benefits of POU water treatment compared to untreated tap water [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B180">138</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B183">141</xref>]. Nevertheless, for immunocompromised and other populations, including those experiencing physiological life stages such as pregnancy, or those very young or very old, POU devices may represent water treatment options for reducing risks of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and other types of infectious agents transmitted by drinking water. A study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B184">142</xref>], aimed to estimate the urban contribution to the total <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> receiving-water loads in USA, was focused on <italic>combined sewer overflows</italic> (CSO), discharges of mixed untreated sewage and stormwaters. Interestingly, CSO from urban areas was not found to be a significant contributor of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic>, but a significative source of <italic>Giardia</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B184">142</xref>]. Most cryptosporidiosis outbreaks in the USA are caused by <italic>C. hominis</italic>, and this species is often reported as the primary cause of cryptosporidiosis in this country [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B185">143</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B186">144</xref>]. However, outbreaks account for only 10% of the overall cryptosporidiosis cases, and there are still few data on the species causing sporadic cases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B187">145</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>). The highest incidence of cryptosporidiosis in the USA has been found in the upper Midwest States [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B188">146</xref>]. In particular, Wisconsin was reported as having the highest incidence of cryptosporidiosis every year from 1999 to 2002 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B188">146</xref>]. The Wisconsin city of Milwaukee also had the largest cryptosporidiosis outbreak in 1993, where more than 400 000 people were infected following contamination of the municipal water supply [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B189">147</xref>]. The pivotal study by Feltus et al., 2006 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B190">148</xref>], identified for 49 cases of sporadic cryptosporidiosis in Wisconsin, during the period from 2003 to 2005, <italic>C. parvum</italic>, <italic>C. hominis</italic>, a cervine genotype [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B64">64</xref>], a cervine genotype variant, and a new W17 human genotypes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B191">149</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>). However, the study showed that most cases were linked to zoonotic <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> genotypes. The Tri-County Health Department of Colorado [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B192">150</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab3">Table 3</xref>) investigated an outbreak of cryptosporidiosis occurred in 2006, linked to a community swimming pool treated by chlorination and UV light irradiation. Risk factors appeared through swimming, getting water in mouth, and swallowing water. Important studies on waterborne-transmitted infections have been also conducted in Canada. In South Western Ontario, from July 2002 to December 2003, water samples were collected from 36 locations within the Grand River Watershed, and were analyzed for total coliforms, fecal coliforms, <italic>E. coli</italic>, <italic>E. coli</italic> O157:H7, thermophilic <italic>Campylobacter </italic>spp., culturable human enteric viruses, <italic>C. perfringens</italic>, <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp., and <italic>Giardia</italic> spp. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B193">151</xref>]. Peaks in pathogen numbers frequently preceded the peaks in numbers and turbidity of indicator organisms suggesting important implications (e.g., pathogen transport model) for designing monitoring programs in source water risk assessment [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B193">151</xref>]. In Southern Ontario, to identify management practices associated with an increased within-herd prevalence of <italic>C. parvum</italic> shedding on dairy farms, a large study was conducted on fecal samples collected from 1089 calves in 119 herds [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B168">125</xref>]. Overall, 30% of the calves were shedding <italic>C. parvum</italic> oocysts, with a prevalence ranged from 0 to 80% within herds and at least one positive calf detected in 77% of herds. Predictors significantly associated with an increased prevalence of shedding were the use of calf rub prophylaxis in cows and the feeding by milk replacer in the first week of life. In contrast, the presence of concrete flooring in calf housing areas and the use of soap or detergent when washing calf feeding utensils appeared to be protective [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B168">125</xref>]. </p><p>The QMRA model was recently applied to assess the relative risks of infection associated with the presence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> in drinking water in Canada [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B194">152</xref>]. The assessment of the final risk in the contamination of the water plants resulted considerably affected by the selection of treatment performance model (filtration and ozonation). Recently, data from a sentinel site (Waterloo Region, Ontario) of the C-EnterNet (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab3">Table 3</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B195">153</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B196">154</xref>] were used to assess exposure factors on laboratory-confirmed <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> infections [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B197">155</xref>]. Of 1204 cases of enteric illness in the sentinel area between April 2005 and December 2007, 36 cases were selected after excluding outbreak and international travel-related cases. Cryptosporidiosis was associated with swimming in a lake or river, drinking municipal water, and having a family member with a diarrhoeal illness. Since 1971, the <italic>Waterborne Disease and Outbreak Surveillance System</italic> has reported on <italic>waterborne disease and outbreak</italic> (WBDO)-related data. In 1978, WBDOs associated with recreational waters (natural and treated waters) were added [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B198">156</xref>]. During 2003-2004, a total of 62 WBDOs associated with recreational water were reported by 27 states, with typical illness occurred in 2,698 persons, resulting in 58 hospitalizations and one death [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B198">156</xref>]. Of the 62 WBDOs, 30 were outbreaks of gastroenteritis and <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> was confirmed as the causal agent in 11, and all except one of these outbreaks occurred in treated water venues [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B198">156</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab4">Table 4</xref>). Lastly, approximately 90% of waterborne outbreaks occur in treated recreational waters (swimming pools, spas and recreational parks), while the remaining 10% arise from natural waters used for leisure (e.g., bathing in rivers, beaches, etc) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>].</p></sec><sec sec-type="subsection" id="sec3.4"><title>3.4.

A recent study in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B199">157</xref>] aimed to thoroughly describe the epidemiology of this disease and to identify specific potential risk factors by analysing anonymous cryptosporidiosis notification and hospitalisation data. Human cases were designated as “<italic>urban</italic>” or “<italic>rural</italic>” and an association between disease rates and animal density was studied. Over the 10-year period from 1997 to 2006, the average annual rate of notified cryptosporidiosis was 22 cases per 100 000 population. The number of hospitalisations amounted to 3.6% of the notified cases. The annual incidence of infection appeared fairly stable, but showed marked seasonality with a peak rate in Spring. The highest rates were among Europeans, children 0–9 years of age, and those living in low-deprivation areas (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab1">Table 1</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>). Notification rates showed large geographic variations, with rates in rural areas 2.8 times higher than in urban areas, and with rural areas also experiencing the most pronounced Spring peak, correlated with farm animal density. Therefore, most transmission of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> in New Zealand appears to be zoonotic in rural settings [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B199">157</xref>]. These data seem to corroborate the evidence that the proportion of <italic>C. parvum</italic> sporadic cases in humans is higher in rural than in urban areas [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B200">158</xref>] and confirm the variation of the geographical distribution of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> infections within countries [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B201">159</xref>].

However, in this vast geographical area, <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> infections are rampant also in adult and immunocompetent populations, due to the unhygienic and improper disposal of wastewater and to the use of surface waters as major source of potable water. The important research by Gideon et al. 2007 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B204">162</xref>], represents a preliminary attempt to isolate, identify, and quantify recurrent forms of these emerging protozoa in the waste and surface waters in Cameroon. The cyst and oocyst counts were higher in the direct effluent because they were released directly into the wastewater by feces, while they were diluted in the surface water, reducing their abundance [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B204">162</xref>]. Clearly the nonfunctional water purification stations and ineffective water treatment systems expose the community to potential outbreaks; however, surveillance plans are still completely lacking.

This interesting distribution of C<italic>ryptosporidium</italic> spp. may support the idea of unique species and transmission in these areas. In Taiwan, cryptosporidia were detected in most of the surface water specimens [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B210">168</xref>]. Water samples collected from potable water treatment plants were investigated for the presence of <italic>Giardia</italic> cysts and C<italic>ryptosporidium</italic> oocysts.

Ten out of 13 samples collected from treated water samples showed the presence of cysts, while oocysts were detected in five out of 13 treated water samples. The risk assessment for the presence of cysts and oocysts, indicates the possibility of waterborne transmission of <italic>Giardia</italic> and <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> infection in Taiwan where adequate water treatment is almost absent. In India, an important work [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B211">169</xref>] reported on the correlation between infections in livestock and seasonal rainfall by considering the monsoon period impact on cryptosporidiosis. The survey revealed a 30% infection with <italic>C. parvum</italic>, out of 457 fecal samples collected from neonatal bovine calves (0–3 months of age) from dairy farms for one year, across three different geographical and agro-climatic areas of India (Northern subtemperate, Eastern subtropical, and Southern subtropical region), and through the premonsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon periods. The infection was more prevalent in the Northern parts of the country than in the Eastern or Southern areas, and <italic>C. parvum</italic> was detected as the only species [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B211">169</xref>]. Highest prevalence was recorded during monsoon months. A more recent study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B212">170</xref>], however, performed on 350 fecal samples collected from juvenile and mature cattle (6–24 months of age), across the three representative agro-climatic regions of the country, showed the only presence of <italic>C. andersoni </italic>with the highest occurrence in the Northern states [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B212">170</xref>]. The animals between age group of 6–12 months were mostly affected and the seasonal prevalence was higher during the hot and humid monsoon season, followed by the premonsoon season when the climate is hot and humid. However, consistently with Paul et al., 2008 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B211">169</xref>], in the post-monsoon season the prevalence dropped, providing evidence for transmission related to survivability of the infective stages of the parasite [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B46">46</xref>]. The results seemed to suggest that <italic>C. andersoni</italic> is the major <italic>Cryptosporidium </italic>species affecting cattle with the increase in age, despite differences in species may also be associated to geography differences in sampling. However, unlike previous studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B211">169</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B213">171</xref>], no cases of <italic>C. parvum</italic>, <italic>C. bovis</italic> and <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> deer-like genotype [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B209">167</xref>] were found in the report of Paul et al., 2009 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B212">170</xref>], evidence which may be ascribed to specific prevalence pattern of <italic>C. andersoni</italic> in the areas and season undertaken for study, corroborating the idea of space and time frames for transmission [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">36</xref>].

Children Cryptosporidiosis in Africa</title><p><italic>C. parvum</italic> is a leading pathogen in children in African developing countries. Here, as in other low-income areas, with no or limited access to HAART, AIDS is rapidly expanding in infants [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B288">265</xref>]. The fatality rate increased due to opportunistic infections, with <italic>C. parvum</italic> being one of the leading agents of severe diarrhea in infants affected by HIV/AIDS [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B288">265</xref>]. However, stunting is a major burden in developing countries, affecting ~147 million children. Repeated or prolonged episodes of diarrhoea during childhood increase the risk of stunting, which is believed to be associated with significant morbidity. Although the relationships between malnutrition, environmental and diarrhoeal illnesses are complex, studies have suggested a connection between stunting and diarrhoea causing pathogens, including <italic>G. lamblia</italic>, <italic>C. parvum,</italic> and enteroaggregative <italic>E. coli</italic> (EAggEC) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B289">266</xref>]. A recent paper [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B290">267</xref>], showed that the microsporidian parasite <italic>E. bieneusi</italic> is associated with lower rates of weight gain in children with persistent diarrhea in Uganda. Children with microsporidiosis were predicted to weigh 1.3 kg less than children without microsporidiosis at 5 years of age [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B290">267</xref>]. The benefits of exclusive breastfeeding for health in infants have been widely described. The study by Bilenko et al., 2008 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B169">126</xref>], considered whether partial breastfeeding has protective effects against enteric infection and associated morbidity in population where early addition of supplementation is common. In this study, 238 Bedouin infants were followed from birth to 18 months. Exclusive breastfeeding was protective against infection and morbidity at ages 0 to 3 months. In the age range of 4 to 6 months, partial versus nonbreastfeeding was associated with lower rates of infection with <italic>Cryptosporidium </italic>spp. and <italic>Campylobacter</italic> spp. In older children (10–12 month age range) partial breastfeeding as compared to none, protected against infections with<italic> Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. and <italic>G. lamblia</italic>. Short-term protection from maternal antibodies passed to infants during breastfeeding may result in a lack of cryptosporidial infection in infancy. This protection of breastfeeding children may, however, result in such children developing less anti-<italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> immunity of their own, so that, by school age, the children who had been breastfed are those most likely to be found infected [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B291">268</xref>]. Hospital- and community-based studies in Sub-Saharan Africa document a high prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in children aged 6–36 months, particularly among those who are malnourished or HIV-positive and during rainy seasons. Transmission appears to occur predominantly through an anthroponotic cycle [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B292">269</xref>]. Prevalence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> and <italic>Giardia</italic> infections was assessed among children using protected and unprotected water sources in Eastern Ethiopia, in November 2005 to May 2006 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B293">270</xref>]. Of 655 children examined, 80 were infected with <italic>Cryptosporidium </italic>and 231 with <italic>Giardia</italic>. No difference was observed in the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis between children drinking water from protected and unprotected sources [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B293">270</xref>]. The study of Dlamini et al., 2005 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B294">271</xref>], reports the first finding on <italic>Cryptosporidium </italic>spp. detection among children of the Swazi ethnic group in Zimbabwe. A study focused on the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in pediatric hospital patients in Niger [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B295">272</xref>], where malnutrition and diarrhoea are two major public health issues. The aim of this study was to get a first evaluation on the prevalence of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. in the stools of hospitalized children younger than 5 years of age. The weight/age ratio to describe malnutrition was calculated and analyzed with the <italic>Epi-Info</italic> software [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B296">273</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B297">274</xref>], (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab3">Table 3</xref>). In the three months study 220 children were included (mean age 20 months) showing that 65% of the children were suffering from moderate and severe malnutrition. Diarrhoea was reported in 52% of the children. <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> oocysts were detected in 12 out of 220 children with 10 children malnourished. A study on children (median age 13.5 months) presenting with acute diarrhea and rehydration clinics in Madagascar, was undertaken between May 2004–May 2005 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B298">275</xref>]. Twelve cases of cryptosporidiosis were detected only in the rainy season. As 11 of the 12 cases were caused by <italic>C. hominis</italic> and only one by <italic>C. parvum</italic>, most of the cases were probably the result of anthroponotic transmission (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab4">Table 4</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B298">275</xref>]. A large study was performed in Kuwait to investigate the incidence of cryptosporidial infection in children presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms at the local hospitals [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B54">54</xref>]. Over a period of three years, fecal samples from 3549 children were analyzed for the presence of <italic>Cryptosporidium </italic>oocysts, detected in 51 children with diarrhea. Prevalence was highest in children older than two years of age. The maximum number of cases was seen during the months January to April, indicating a marked seasonal variation. Three possible modes of infection transmission were inferred: (i) drinking contaminated water stored in overhead water tanks; (ii) person to person; (iii) contact with infected animals. A common polyparasitism was mainly due to the recurrent <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> co-infective <italic>Giardia</italic> and <italic>Cyclospora</italic> parasites, as also reported by recent outbreak reports [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B103">261</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B108">276</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B110">277</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab4">Table 4</xref>), confirming these parasites as largely emerging pathogens [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B239">201</xref>] also with <italic>B. hominis</italic> and <italic>E. histolytica</italic>/<italic>dispar </italic>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B299">278</xref>] (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6</xref>).</p></sec><sec sec-type="subsection" id="sec7.6"><title>7.6.

In this study, species, genotypes, and subgenotypes of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. infections were identified for the first time in a well-defined cohort of children in Southern India. Only one previous report was produced on genotypes distribution of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. in children in Eastern India [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">57</xref>]. <italic>C. parvum</italic>-positive samples revealed that all were subgenotype Ic, usually associated with anthroponotic transmission (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>). There were no significant differences in demographic or clinical (nutritional status, vomiting, fever) characteristics between <italic>C. hominis </italic>and <italic>C. parvum</italic> or <italic>C. felis</italic> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B87">87</xref>] infected children and those infected with different subgenotypes. However, <italic>C. hominis</italic>-infected children had a significantly greater severity of diarrhea [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">36</xref>]. There was also a trend toward a longer average duration of diarrhea in <italic>C. hominis</italic>-infected children than in those infected with other species (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab1">Table 1</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>). There were two significant time clusters of cryptosporidial diarrhea, one during February-March and the other during June–August. In the other study of Ajjampur [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B272">235</xref>], fecal samples from 158 children with and 99 children without diarrhoea were tested for enteric pathogens in Southern India. Remarkably,<italic> Cryptosporidium </italic>spp. resulted in one of the most common causes of diarrhoea in hospitalized children [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B272">235</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B273">236</xref>]. The epidemiology, clinical features, nutritional status, and causative agents of diarrhea were studied in 289 children in Bangladesh [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B300">279</xref>]. Compared with malnourished and/or stunted children, better-nourished children experienced significantly fewer diarrheal episodes.<italic> G. lamblia</italic>,<italic> C. parvum</italic>, and<italic> E. histolytica</italic> were the most common protozoan agents. A very recent study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B301">280</xref>] performed in Bangladesh, examined whether malnutrition, may increase the risk of diarrhea equally for all enteropathogens in infants. Two hundred eighty-nine Bangladeshi children, 2 to 5 years of age, were included in the study. Malnutrition was present in 39% of the children. Of the identified enteropathogens from stool samples, only enterotoxigenic<italic> E. coli</italic>,<italic> Cryptosporidium</italic> spp., and<italic> E. histolytica</italic> were significantly more prevalent in malnourished children, suggesting that malnutrition may represent a differential risk for enteric pathogens associated with diarrheal illness. A study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B302">281</xref>] was conducted to investigate the presence of intestinal parasites among 475 preschool children (aged 3 months to 5 years) in Thailand. The most frequent parasites identified were<italic> G. lamblia</italic> and<italic> Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. Highest proportion of intestinal parasites occurred during the rainy season (June–October). A 5-year hospital-based retrospective analysis was aimed to find out the intestinal protozoal parasitic profile in 1790 preschool and school-age children visiting the hospital with gastrointestinal illness in Nepal [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B303">282</xref>].<italic> G. lamblia</italic> was the most prevalent pathogenic protozoan intestinal parasite, followed by<italic> E. histolytica</italic>. Interestingly, opportunistic pathogens like<italic> C. cayetanensis</italic> and<italic> Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. were detected in immunocompromised children below two years of age as a result of vertical transmission, which is alarming for a country like Nepal presenting a <italic>“concentrated epidemic</italic>” HIV infection period [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B303">282</xref>]. Intestinal parasites are still a major health problem in Turkey. The study of Börekç<italic>ı</italic> and Uzel [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B304">283</xref>] identified one or more parasites in 43% of the children.<italic> G. intestinalis</italic> was found to be the most common parasite, followed by<italic> E. histolytica</italic> plus<italic> E. coli</italic>,<italic> E. coli</italic>,<italic> E. nana</italic>, and<italic> Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. In Turkey, the first waterborne outbreak of cryptosporidiosis with<italic> Cyclospora</italic> coinfection mainly affected children aged between 0 and 14 years [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B108">276</xref>] (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab4">Table 4</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig6">Figure 6</xref>).

Children Cryptosporidiosis in South and Central America</title><p>In South America, cryptosporidiosis is often observed as a pediatric disease in areas where <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. are endemic (e.g., Perù). Children < two years of age are frequently infected in community and hospital settings. The spectrum of symptoms is diverse, ranging from acute, severe chronic diarrhea, or vomiting to asymptomatic infections. In a community-based study in Perù, about 30% of immunocompetent children with cryptosporidiosis reported diarrhea [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">50</xref>]. This four-year study was fundamental for size of sampling set (533 children enrolled), age of children (median age corresponding to 14 days), number of stool specimens (44,042), and <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> species identified (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>). Children infected with <italic>C. hominis </italic>had higher parasite excretion scores [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B308">287</xref>] than those infected with other species of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic>. Associated clinical manifestations at first infection varied among different <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. and genotypes (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab2">Table 2</xref>). In general, distribution of species was similar to that found in a previous study on Peruvian HIV population [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B309">288</xref>], where all <italic>C. parvum</italic> specimens were described to belong to subtype family IIc [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B87">87</xref>]. In Haiti, the study by Raccurt et al. 2006 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">69</xref>], highlighted the water contamination in urban slum conditions as a major risk of cryptosporidiosis in children. The considered risk factors, including age at first infection, hygiene parameters, presence of animals, house infrastructure, and indirect economic indicators did not provide statistically significant correlation to <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. or subtype families and, therefore, were not identified as risk factors, apparently in contrast to transmission of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> spp. in industrialized nations. A seroepidemiologic study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B310">289</xref>] was conducted in Guatemala to determine the feasibility of using antibody markers as indicators of waterborne pathogen infection in rural areas of this country. The prevalence of antibodies was lowest in children 6–12 months old compared with the older age groups (up to 36 months) but still detectable, providing a useful screening tool for the main waterborne pathogens [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B310">289</xref>]. Such an approach may provide a suitable tool for determining the prevalence of infection in very young children. Molecular characterisation of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> infections among Cuban children (aged 2–8 years) with diarrhoea, were described by Pelayo et al., 2008 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B291">268</xref>]. In this study, in contrast with a previous report on intestinal coccidia in Cuban pediatric patients [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B311">290</xref>], differences in symptoms were detected, possibly age-related.</p></sec><sec sec-type="subsection" id="sec7.8"><title>7.8. Conclusions</title><p>Infectious diarrheal diseases remain an important cause of childhood morbidity in developed countries. The recent confirmation of an infection route of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> linked to drinking unpasteurised milk highlights the need to evaluate the entire transmission variety of the parasite, besides the already well-known and identified classical courses of disease in children. In pediatric populations, prevalence data are still underestimated, due to a poor clinical valuation of pathognomic symptoms and to the absence of advanced laboratory tools in diagnostic routine panels. Literature regarding developing countries shows that anthroponotic transmission is the principal mode of infection in children population, while less representative are the water or environmental sources contaminated with zoonotic <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic> genotypes, a direct contact with animals or the presence within farms and/or associated waters. Interestingly, of the 71 <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic>-linked outbreaks (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab4">Table 4</xref>), 17 outbreaks (23.9%), defined as community-linked, appear to involve predominantly children, underlying the person-to-person contact as the prevailing transmission route. Geographically, this type of outbreaks seem to be concentrated in the USA and in the UK but have been also mapped in New Zealand and South-America (<xref ref-type="table" rid="tab3">Table 3</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>). The high heterogenicity of <italic>C. hominis </italic>genotypes, notified in many developing areas for childhood, represents an indicator of endemicity for the transmission of cryptosporidiosis (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>). In the poorest areas, gastrointestinal parasitosis, enhanced by malnutrition, play a major role in children with severe immune impairment, with <italic>C. hominis</italic> being the leading agent of severe diarrhea. Intestinal dysfunction contributes to growth failure and further immune derangement, leading to wasting, and significantly enhancing children mortality. New areas of research on the relationship between breastfeeding and onset/progression of the cryptosporidiosis should be explored, especially in children population characterised by paucity of hygiene, nutrition and hydration, particularly in the first months of life. Lastly, the growing number of internationally adopted children requires an appropriate surveillance to ensure the long-term health of adopted children as well as their families. Thus, periodic surveys of large cohorts of internationally adopted children are now essential to monitor global changing epidemiologic trends.</p></sec></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>This paper was supported by a Grant from Ricerca Corrente, Bambino Gesù Hospital and Research Institute (OPBG): “The early Apicomplexa protists as a new model for the understanding of human infectious diseases and pathologies: a novel approach to treat emerging public health challenges through global technological platforms as DNA, protein expression profiling and phylogenomics” (RC 200702P002153).

Panel (a). Giardia intestinalis</italic> (also called <italic>Giardia lamblia </italic>or <italic>Giardia duodenalis</italic>) is a flagellate parasite (Diplomonadida). Both cysts and trophozoites can be found in nondiarrheal feces (<italic>diagnostic and infective stages</italic>, (1)). Cysts are resistant forms and are responsible for transmission of giardiasis (<italic>infective stage</italic>, (2)). Infection occurs by the ingestion of water or food contaminated by cysts, or by the fecal-oral route (hands or fomites). In the small intestine, excystation releases trophozoites which multiply by longitudinal binary fission, remaining in the lumen of the proximal small bowel where they can be free or attached to the mucosa. Encystation occurs as the parasites transit toward the colon. <italic>Panel (b)</italic>. <italic>Cyclospora cayetanensis </italic>is a coccidian parasite (Apicomplexa). When passed in stools, the oocyst is not infective (on the contrary of <italic>Cryptosporidium</italic>, thus direct fecal-oral transmission cannot occur). In the environment, sporulation occurs after days or weeks, resulting in division of the sporont into two sporocysts, each containing two sporozoites (<italic>diagnostic and infective stages</italic>, (1)). Fresh food and water can serve as vehicles for transmission and the sporulated oocysts are ingested (<italic>infective stage</italic>, (2)). The oocysts excyst in the gastrointestinal tract, freeing the sporozoites which invade the epithelial cells of the small intestine. Inside the cells they undergo asexual multiplication and sexual development to mature into oocysts, which will be shed in stools. <italic>Panel (c)</italic>. <italic>Blastocystis hominis</italic> is a Heterokontid Chromista (Stramenopiles). The thick-walled cyst present in the stools (<italic>diagnostic stage</italic>, (1)), which varies tremendously in size from 6 to 40 <italic>μ</italic>m, is believed to be responsible for external transmission, possibly by the fecal-oral route through ingestion of contaminated water or food (<italic>infective stage</italic>, (2)). The cysts infect epithelial cells of the digestive tract and multiply asexually. Vacuolar forms of the parasite give origin to multi vacuolar and ameboid forms. The multivacuolar form develops into a precyst that gives origin to a thin-walled cyst, thought to be responsible for autoinfection. The ameboid form gives origin to a precyst, which develops into thick-walled cyst by schizogony. The thick-walled cyst is excreted in feces. <italic>Panel (d)</italic>. <italic>Entamoeba histolytica/dispar</italic> is an Amoebozoa parasite. Cysts and trophozoites are passed in feces (<italic>diagnostic and infective stages</italic>, (1)), the first found in formed, whereas the latest in diarrheal stool. Infection by <italic>E. histolytica</italic> occurs by ingestion of mature cysts in fecally contaminated food, water, or hands. Excystation occurs in the small intestine and trophozoites are released, which migrate to the large intestine and multiply by binary fission to produce cysts, where both stages are passed in the feces. Cysts can survive days to weeks in the external environment and are responsible for transmission (<italic>diagnostic and infective stages</italic>, (2)). Trophozoites passed in the stool are rapidly destroyed once outside the body, and if ingested would not survive exposure to the gastric environment. In many cases, the trophozoites remain confined to the intestinal lumen (<italic>noninvasive infection</italic>) of individuals who are asymptomatic carriers, passing cysts in their stool. In some patients the trophozoites invade the intestinal mucosa (<italic>intestinal disease</italic>), or, through the bloodstream, extraintestinal sites such as the liver, brain, and lungs (<italic>extraintestinal disease</italic>), with resultant pathologic manifestations. It has been established that the invasive and noninvasive forms represent two separate species, respectively, <italic>E. histolytica</italic> and <italic>E. dispar</italic>. These two species are morphologically indistinguishable unless <italic>E. histolytica</italic> is observed with ingested red blood cells (erythrophagocytosis).
