Farm visit, Wales

In April 1995, an outbreak of Cryptosporidiosis was reported among 43 children and four staff after visiting a rural farm (Evans and Gardner, 1996). Out of the 43 cases reported, 7 were confirmed by laboratory cultures. The investigation indicated that the highest likelihood of source of contamination was contact with calves.
