Preventing and controlling Cryptosporidium spp. in aquatic facilities: environmental health practitioners' experiences in Victoria, Australia.

CONCLUSIONS: Several barriers and enablers to preventing and controlling Cryptosporidium spp. in aquatic facilities were perceived by EHPs. Suggestions to overcome perceived barriers were also identified. Further research is required to determine the impact of these findings on the incidence of cryptosporidiosis associated with aquatic facilities. Implications for public health: The findings contribute to a greater understanding of the barriers and enablers to Cryptosporidium spp. prevention and control in aquatic facilities, which may improve the effectiveness of current prevention and control strategies.
