  North Cumbria Sporadic Cryptosporidiosis Study
Ennerdale and Crummock water had new Membrane Filters installed in the latter part of the study period; the "Other" water supply zones did not have any major changes to water treatment during the whole study period.
Ennerdale and Crummock water supply zones experienced a decline in incidence rate during and following installation of filters; this decline was in excess of that which could be explained by the FMD epidemic and may therefore be attributed to the installation of Membrane Filtration.
For Crummock and Ennerdale water sources where Membrane Filtration was installed, the incidence rate ratio for sporadic cryptosporidiosis post compared to pre Membrane Filtration period was estimated to be 0.156 (95% C1 0.076 to 0.320).
