An Update on Zoonotic Cryptosporidium Species and Genotypes in Humans

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary Cryptosporidium is a parasite that infects humans and a broad range of animals. There are few diagnostic features that can be used to identify and differentiate between species and therefore DNA-based detection and genetic typing methods ...

Analysis of the Cryptosporidium spp. and gp60 subtypes linked to human outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis in England and Wales, 2009 to 2017

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Cryptosporidium spp. are important causes of gastroenteritis that can be transmitted from humans and animals. We elucidated the distribution of species and gp60 subtypes in human outbreaks classified by transmission vehicle.

Investigation of Cryptosporidium infection in a broad range of hosts in northern China [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Cryptosporidium infection occurs in humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. To date, at least 49 species and 120 genotypes have been identified. Hitherto, molecular identification of Cryptosporidium species in wildlife has seldom been reported

Detection of Cryptosporidium and Giardia duodenalis in Reptiles in Thailand. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
ABSTRACT Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis are significant intestinal protozoan parasites affecting humans and animals worldwide. These infections are transmitted through the faecal–oral route, by contaminated water, food or close contact with infected hosts.

Molecular Detection of Cryptosporidium spp. and Enterocytozoon bieneusi Infection in Wild Rodents From Six Provinces in China

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Enterocytozoon (E.) bieneusi and Cryptosporidium spp. are the most important zoonotic enteric pathogens associated with diarrheal diseases in animals and humans. However, it is still not known whether E. bieneusi and Cryptosporidium spp.

A Cryptosporidium PI(4)K inhibitor is a drug candidate for cryptosporidiosis

Nature, 2017
Diarrhoeal disease is responsible for 8.6% of global child mortality. Recent epidemiological studies found the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium to be a leading cause of paediatric diarrhoea, with particularly grave impact on infants and ...

Comparative analysis reveals conservation in genome organization among intestinal Cryptosporidium species and sequence divergence in potential secreted pathogenesis determinants among major human-infecting species

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Cryptosporidiosis is a major cause of gastrointestinal diseases in humans and other vertebrates. Previous analyses of invasion-related proteins revealed that Cryptosporidium parvum, Cryptosporidium hominis, and Cryptosporidium ubiquitum mainly

Exploration of Zoo felids in North-East China for the prevalence and molecular identification of Cryptosporidium spp. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Cryptosporidium spp. is a protozoan having the potential to cause zoonosis in humans and animals. Despite the zoonotic importance of this protozoan parasite, limited data are available about its prevalence in zoo felids in North-Eastern China. Hence, the

Cryptosporidium. [PDF]

Microbiology (Reading, England), 2019
The protozoan Cryptosporidium is notorious for its resistance to chlorine disinfection, a mainstay of water treatment. Human infections, mainly of the small intestine, arise from consumption of faecally contaminated food or water, environmental exposure, and person-to-person or animal-to-person spread.
