      Graphical Abstract
      • Abstract
    • Objectives  To find out the situation of children infected by cryptosporidium, to explore the risk factors, and provide scientific basis for protection.
      Methods  The investigation was conducted in 8 kindergartens of a county in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. Data were analyzed by χ2 test and logistic regression analysis.
      Results  The total cryptosporidium infection rate of children surveyed was 4.2% (42/1002). Drinking unboiled water (OR=2.473) was the primary risk factor for cryptosporidium infection.
