Two-City Cryptosporidium Study

Abstract

Examines the occurrence of cryptosporidiosis in a population consuming groundwater with that of one consuming surface water. Uses a comparison of the relative infection rates to provide an estimate of the relative contribution of water to infection rates. Published in March 1999.
