Onecelled parasites in the Cryptorporidium family can give diarrhoea in animals and humans. Some species of Cryptosporidium from animals can induce disease in humans, most notably Cryptosporidium parvum. Cryptosporidium spreads directly between humans, from animals to humans or through watersources that have been contaminated with fertilizers or sewage.

An article by researchers at NVI states that proliferative kidney disease (PKD) attacks salmon fingerlings in Åbjøravassdraget. The parasite is a problem in many Norwegian rivers, and the problem is growing. This is due to climatic change, and other factors.
