Resumo
Cryptosporidiosis is an emerging parasitosis in Brazil and in the world, known as one
of the major causes of diarrhoea in adults and children. Its importance is mainly due
to its wide array of hosts and its potential as a zoonoses. Furthermore, the infective
form of the agent, Cryptosporidium spp., is highly resistant in the environment,
enabling food, water and soil contamination and thus potentially causing large
outbreaks and massive economical and social losses. Sub notification, lack of
efficient treatment and subutilization of efficient control methods hamper use of
preventive measures to lower this disease impact.
