On this link is a MSR MIOX chart and Crypto is blank where as the other pathogens are filled with 'Yes'.

Here is another regarding clorine resistant pathogens:

I believe the catch is noted in the CascadeDesigns literature where Cyrpto is eliminated when the MSR MIOX is used in Conjunction with the MSR Filter.

In addition different types of clorine perform better than others on crypto.

Then there is all the legal mumbo jumbo to cover ass.


Regardless, if it came to needing potable water and using the MIOX to achieve that, Crytosporidium would be the least of my worries.
