Molecular epidemiology, spatiotemporal analysis, and ecology of sporadic human cryptosporidiosis in Australia

A spatiotemporal approach was employed to study the sporadic human cryptosporidiosis, a common waterborne disease in New South Wales, Australia, between January 2008 and December 2010. Cryptosporidium parvum subtype IIaA18G3R1 was the most common cause of cryptosporidiosis in cattle, with 47% of infections attributed to it, while C. hominis subtype IbA10G2 was identified in cattle isolates.
