title: Cryptosporidiosis decline after regulation, England and Wales, 1989-2005.
abstract: Since new drinking water regulations were implemented in England and Wales in 2000, cryptosporidiosis has been significantly reduced in the first half of the year but not in the second. We estimate an annual reduction in disease of 905 reported cases and approximately 6,700 total cases.
