Abstract
- The article discusses research being done on the effects of weather and river flow on cryptosporidiosis. It references a study by Iain R. Lake and Graham Bentham, published in a 2005 issue of the "Journal of Water and Health." It has been established that about 92% of all cases of cryptosporidiosis are not associated with a particular outbreak. The researchers found an association between disease and a particular month's maximum river flow, consistent with the release of newborn, highly infectious animals onto the land.
