No major waterborne outbreaks have been described since 2001. Small outbreaks have been associated with water. This paper describes such an outbreak. Data from a local multi-agency surveillance system was used to describe the outbreak, including mapping cases against water supply zones. A case-control study investigated hypotheses raised. All cases were genotype 1. Early cases were in the supply zone of a surface water-treatment plant that had met treatment standards. Later cases included residents in a different supply zone that temporarily received water from the implicated plant. Cases reported more consumption of domestic mains water than controls. Descriptive and analytical epidemiology thus supported drinking water as a source of cryptosporidiosis from a plant meeting regulatory requirements. The evidence for setting drinking-water standards needs review.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268807008503","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,20]],"date-time":"2007-04-20T08:07:22Z","timestamp":1177056442000},"page":"1159-1164","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Outbreak of waterborne cryptosporidiosis associated with low oocyst concentrations"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"135","author":[{"given":"E.","family":"NEIRA-MUNOZ","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"OKORO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N.\u00a0D.","family":"McCARTHY","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0950268807008503_ref011","first-page":"239","article-title":"A large outbreak of cryptosporidiosis associated with a public water supply from a deep chalk borehole","volume":"1","author":"Willocks","year":"1998","journal-title":"Communicable Disease and Public Health"},{"key":"S0950268807008503_ref009","volume-title":"The Coliform Index and Waterborne Disease","author":"Gleeson","year":"1997"},{"key":"S0950268807008503_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09603129773977"},{"key":"S0950268807008503_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268898001083"},{"key":"S0950268807008503_ref003","unstructured":"3.\u00a0Incident Management Team.
