C. parvum, C. hominis, sporozoites, oocysts

Break and entry to gut cells through mouth or nose exposure, causes “the runs”.

Loves the guts of mammals and popping out into the environment through faeces.

OK if you are generally healthy, life-threatening under other circumstances.

Take care in swimming pools, contaminated water sources and splash parks – one accidental faecal release might be all it takes to ruin your day!
