Summary:

This report provides a review of the literature on Cryptosporidium and helps to identify the findings and formulates the key research questions. It covers these central questions: * What are the sources/carriers of human pathogenic strains and what are the key species for a range of catchments? * What is the contribution of pre and post weaned cattle and sheep to catchment contamination? * What data on animal management practices (including vegetation management of riparian zones) is available? * What are the different climatic zones across catchments and how will this impact on the survival and transmission of Cryptosporidium? Co-published with WaterRA.
