Abstract
Dose–response data on human exposure to oocysts of Cryptosporidium were analyzed to determine the dose corresponding to a stated risk level.
A recent study of infection and illness in human volunteers subjected to controlled exposure to oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum provided a suitable data base for dose–response analysis. The authors analyzed the study data, and using exponential and beta‐poisson dose–response models, arrived at an estimate of the waterborne concentrations associated with various risk levels.
