Contaminated Waters with Cryptosporidium: a Barrier to Safe Aquatic Life and Public Health

|

Understanding Cryptosporidium: A Stealthy Waterborne Threat Cryptosporidium remains a hidden yet dangerous waterborne pathogen. It easily spreads through contaminated water sources (Akinnubi, 2024). Once ingested, it causes cryptosporidiosis, a severe gastrointestinal illness (Siwak et al., 2023). Additionally, Cryptosporidium infects both humans and animals, increasing zoonotic transmission risks (Mpindou et al., 2021). Its small oocysts resist
