The HIV epidemic andthe emergence ofcryptosporidiosisas a potentially severe opportunisticinfectioninpeoplelivingwithAIDSwassignificant,notonlybecause oftheclinicalimplicationsbutbecauseitmotivatedasubstantialresearcheffortand a desire to better understand these parasites. A second notable event was the waterborne cryptosporidiosis outbreak which occurred in Milwaukee in 1993. Theimportanceofthisoutbreakisillustratedbythefactthatthearticle2reporting ontheepidemiologicalinvestigationoftheoutbreakwascitedover600times,more than any other paper with the term Cryptosporidium inthe title listed inPubMed. Subsequently, the application of genotyping methods based on the polymerase chain reaction revealed the common occurrence of cryptosporidiosis in animals, particularlyinyounglivestock,andtheimportanceofzoonotictransmissionofthis parasite. Whereas waterborne outbreaks have provided incentives for improving drinking water quality, progress in treatment and prevention of cryptosporidiosis has been disappointing. As described in this book, basic research has generated a wealth of information on many aspects of Cryptosporidium biology, but this knowledge has not had a decisive impact on the progress towards the production ofeffectivetreatmentsorvaccines.Cryptosporidiosisthusremainsaseriousinfec- tion, not only for immunocompromised individuals but also for children living in underdevelopedcountries.Inrecognitionofthediseaseburden,andtounderlineits linkwithpoverty,theWorldHealthOrganization(WHO)hasincludedcryptospo- ridiosisintheNeglectedDiseasesInitiativesince2004. 1Tyzzer,E.E.(1907)Asporozoonfoundinthepepticglandsofthecommonmouse.Proc.Soc.

The 13 chapters are written by scientists,cliniciansandveterinarianshavingmanyyearsofexperiencewiththese parasites and who together have published hundreds of research papers. This practical experience and scholarly activity is reflected in the quality of the contributions. The book covers a wide range of subjects, ranging from clinical cryptosporidiosis to the epidemiology, taxonomy, host-parasite interaction and molecular biology. Recent progress in the field of Cryptosporidium “omics” is alsocovered. We have grouped the chapters in four parts. Part I covers taxonomy and epidemiology.Itincludesfourchaptersonthemoleculartaxonomy,epidemiology, evolutionandecologyofCryptosporidiumspeciesinfectinghumans,livestockand othervertebrates.PartIIcovers“omics”-relatedsubjects(genomics,transcriptomics and proteomics), as well as an overview of Cryptosporidium metabolism and its many unique features. Host-parasite interaction is the focus of Part III. Clinical cryptosporidiosis, immunology and the current state of drug development are covered. The last part is devoted to waterborne cryptosporidiosis. Two chapters review the implications of Cryptosporidium oocysts in drinking and recreational water and give an overview of treatments to remove and inactivate oocysts in drinkingwater.
