Here, multilocus fragment analysis of 3 microsatellite loci (ML1, ML2, and gp60) was used to subtype strains from sporadic cases of cryptosporidiosis in Wales and northwest England.
For example, in response to outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis in 1995 and 1997, new regulations were introduced in England and Wales, which required testing and reporting against legally binding targets for Cryptosporidium concentrations that could be found in treated drinking water [Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) 1999].
Typically, it takes about seven days for symptoms of cryptosporidiosis to appear, long after the initial exposure occurred.
