Increased runoff from heavy rainfall could increase water-borne diseases such as giardia, cryptosporidia, and viral and bacterial gastroenteritis.
Most cryptosporidia are 3-6 m in size, although some reports have described larger cells.
Cryptosporidia is a parasite that is often water-borne.
Current analytical techniques for monitoring cryptosporidia in water are capable of indicating whether organisms are present in a sample but are not able to provide accurate quantitative results.
Apart from this, no histopathological changes were present, and cryptosporidia could not be detected.
