Respuesta :

It is possible for waterborne pathogens such as cryptosporidium to contaminate water that has been treated in modern treatment plants being chlorine resistant and hard to filter out.

People and animals can contract Cryptosporidium when they consume food or water that has been tainted with the parasite's contagious oocysts.

The immune system is triggered and host cells are eliminated as the various parasite stages emerge from the host cells. The symptoms of infection are brought on by the overwhelming invasion of immune cells and the destruction of intestinal cells.

Infection typically just affects the gastrointestinal tract, however, in animals or people with impaired immune systems, other organs may also be impacted.

In the spring and summer, when farming is at its busiest, recorded cases of Cryptosporidium are frequently higher than at other times of the year.

It is conceivable for water that has been treated in contemporary treatment plants to become contaminated with waterborne pathogens like cryptosporidium.
