  „Wednesday, 26 July, 2000, 18:28 GMT 19:28 UK Material filters out pool bugs Infections can be picked up at the pool A revolutionary material that can remove bacteria from swimming pool water could prevent the spread of an unpleasant stomach bug. Present pool filters occasionally have problems removing the infectious form of the Cryptosporidium. This is a protozoan - a single celled organism - which is often passed into poolwater by infected infants brought for a swim. It is so infectious that one person with the bug could theoretically infect 100,000 others.“
