By: Associated Press report, Associated Press

Minnesota Department of Health officials said a case of the waterborne disease has been connected to the Lodge at Brainerd Lakes. State epidemiologist Trisha Robinson said the lodge has worked with the department's environmental health officials and highly chlorinated the water park. The pool was closed Monday and was scheduled to reopen Thursday.

Earlier this week, the Health Department linked cases of the parasitic disease to the Edgewater Resort and Water Park in Duluth. The resort's owners closed the operation and disinfected the park before opening again.

Number of suspected illnesses increases in Duluth water park outbreak

By: John Lundy, Duluth News Tribune

The number of suspected cases of a waterborne disease linked with Duluth?s Edgewater Resort and Water Park has risen to 41, a state official said on Thursday.

Meanwhile, a second outbreak of cryptosporidiosis has been linked to a water park in the Brainerd area. Cryptosporidiosis typically is shortened as crypto.

Trisha Robinson, an epidemiologist for the Minnesota Department of Health, said it wasn?t a surprise that the number of suspected cases linked to the Edgewater grew from the six that were listed when reports became public Tuesday. It is believed that for every confirmed case in a crypto outbreak, there are 98.6 additional cases, Robinson has said.

The number of confirmed cases remained at three on Thursday. Robinson said it?s probable that some, but not all, of the suspected cases eventually will be confirmed as crypto.
