Swimming in surface water bodies (e.g., lakes, rivers) can expose the human body to substantial risk of infection by  Cryptosporidium . These findings are from a one-year investigation on the occurrence and distribution of the protozoan parasite  Cryptosporidium  in Yunlong Lake, Xuzhou, China.  Cryptosporidium  oocysts were detected by immunofluorescence microscopy. From January to November of 2015, 180 samples (120 water samples and 60 sediment samples) were collected and analyzed. Among them, 42 (35%) water samples and 28 (47%) sediment samples tested positive for  Cryptosporidium . The concentration of  Cryptosporidium  oocysts in the water samples was 0–8/10 L and 0–260/g in sediment samples. Results revealed that July was the highest risk period for both swimming and diving with an estimated probability of infection from swimming of greater than 18 per 10,000 swim sessions. It was concluded that swimming or diving in Yunlong Lake has a higher risk of  Cryptosporidium  infection than the acceptable risk level set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Thus, regular monitoring of water quality in recreation water bodies is strongly recommended.
