Yosho has a spectacular aura about
fecal-oral route infectious diseases?

Caused by a protozoan that lives in fresh water and colonizes the intestinal tract of humans. People get infected by drinking fecal-contaminated water. The disease causes diarrhea and abdominal cramping. This is an emerging infectious disease that wasn't characterized until 1976

What disease is this?? Cryptosporidium perhaps?
Thanks for trying guys. Just for your future reference (nurse especially) it is actually Cryptosporidiosis (caused by cryptosporidium) Thanks again
