Studies in north Wales on human cryptosporidiosis since 1983 have indicated that the infection may be acquired both from animals and by person-to-person transmission. Examination of veterinary data revealed a marked coincidence of the spring peak of infection in human beings with that seen in sheep. A case-control study was therefore set up to test the hypothesis that some of the human infections may have been acquired from contact with sheep. The results of the study confirmed a significant association.
自1983年以来，在北威尔士开展的关于人类隐孢子虫病的研究表明，该感染可能通过接触动物以及人传人两种途径获得。对兽医数据的检查显示，人类感染的春季高峰与绵羊中出现的情况明显吻合。因此，开展了一项病例对照研究，以检验部分人类感染可能是通过与绵羊接触而获得这一假设。该研究结果证实了两者之间存在显著关联。
