A cryptosporidium outbreak linked to a farm shop in Cowbridge is officially over.
Public health officials say there have been no new cases since the outbreak control team last met on 28th May.
There were a total of 89 cases and at least 16 people were taken to hospital after being taken ill following public feeding and petting sessions at Marlborough Grange Farm, which were halted on 29th April.
Public Health Wales (PHW) says there’ll be a full review of the outbreak as part of routine
procedures.
Su Mably, a public protection consultant at PHW, said: “We would like to thank everyone affected by this outbreak for their understanding and cooperation.”
“We are particularly grateful to our colleagues from Shared Regulatory Services, Vale of Glamorgan Council, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and the Animal and Plant Health Agency for their expertise and partnership throughout this investigation.”
PHW added that although the outbreak was at an end, it reminded the public to continue taking hygiene precautions before visiting farms.
Cryptosporidium is a parasite that can cause gastrointestinal illness. It is often linked to contact with animals, especially young farm animals such as calves and lambs.
