Resumo
The transmission of waterborne cryptosporidiosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Knowledge of Cryptosporidium cases and ways in which to detect the parasite can help with decision making
surrounding an appropriate method that is sensitive and inexpensive, in order to identify the risk level of the
pathogen's transmission. Thus, by means of a scientific literature review, the Cryptosporidium spp occurrence and
the methodologies used for detecting it in treated water were verified. METHODS: Data was identified from a
research carried out by PubMed, SciELO, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS) and Sanitary
Engineering and Environmental Sciences (REPIDISCA), using the following terms: Cryptosporidium and Tap
water, Cryptosporidium and Drink water, Cryptosporidium and Treated water, Cryptosporidium and Water supply.
Two independent researchers, initially, identified the list of titles and abstracts that were selected to be included
or excluded. In the case of disagreement about data extraction between the two assessors, the differences were
resolved by consensus or discussion with a third reviewer. Through this review, it was observed that
Cryptosporidium spp. is present in treated water in several countries, including Brazil. Among the countries that
stood out are Spain and Portugal, since in Brazil there is only a small amount of research published on the matter.
