“…Epidemiology : Cryptosporidiosis in cattle in Japan was first reported in calves from Okayama, Miyagi, and Hokkaido prefectures [ 15 , 61 , 135 , 139 , 179 ] according to Kaneta and Nakai [ 71 ]. Earlier studies showed that C. muris or C. muris -like oocysts were present in cattle from Japanese slaughterhouses [ 82 , 118 ] at infection rates of 4.7% in Miyagi [ 122 ], 3.9% in Kanagawa [ 79 ], 2.8% in Shizuoka [ 153 ], 1.2% in Fukushima [ 108 ], 1.2% in Saitama [ 119 ], and 3.4% in Tokushima Prefecture [ 156 ]. The aforementioned studies were mainly published locally and active surveillance was conducted after the year 2000.…”

Cryptosporidium species infect domestic animals, livestock, and humans. These protozoan parasites are frequently reported as major environmental contaminants in many countries despite their differing climatic, socioeconomic, and demographic factors. This review focuses on the research findings that relate to Cryptosporidium epidemiology, genetic diversity, and associated risk factors relating to animals, contaminated water sources, and humans in Japan. Adequate knowledge of these factors is essential for understanding the economic and public health importance of cryptosporidiosis in Japan so that effective control strategies against it are implemented. Cryptosporidium infections are highly prevalent in animals in Japan. Among the different animal species, cattle infections stand out because of their economic importance and zoonotic potential. Living circumstances in Japan restrain Cryptosporidium transmission between humans, but there is evidence to suggest that animals, especially those in close contact with humans, can be potential sources of human infections. Water sampling studies have provided clues about how environmental contamination with Cryptosporidium oocysts can cause infections in livestock and wild animals. There is some evidence of personto-person transmission of cryptosporidiosis, but only occasionally and under certain circumstances. By identifying the major role played by animals in Cryptosporidium transmission to people in Japan, we highlight the urgent need for disease control against this pathogen.

is the long-term forest environmental education that has been conducted by Kawana Satoyama Ranger, student-led a volunteer group working to conserve Kawana green space located in the southern part of Fujisawa, Kanagawa. This forest environmental education activity, called the "Yato (valley) expedition" allows a child to experience nature with their bodies. The contents are mainly walks in nature and crafts. The purpose of this study was to examine consideration mainly from a safety perspective in the viewpoints of college students as rangers (instructors) as the contents changed, based on records of expeditions over 15 years conducted by this ranger team. Text mining was used to analyze the implementation records of rangers. The results showed that students pay attention to the following points in the student-led forest environmental education activities: injuries to participants, time management of the program, health management of participants, speed of movement according to the participants. On the other hand, if it is student-led, members will be replaced every year. Therefore, it should be noted that the safety and health care considerations of the student perspective may not be carried over.
