Characterization of NFDQ1 in Cryptosporidium parvum. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors
Abstract Background Cryptosporidium spp. are important zoonotic parasites that can cause moderate to severe diarrhea in humans and animals. Among the three Cryptosporidium species infecting the intestines of calves, Cryptosporidium parvum has a broad host range and causes severe diarrhea in calves, while Cryptosporidium ...

Genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. in non-human primates in rural and urban areas of Ethiopia

PLoS ONE, 2022
Non-Human Primates (NHPs) harbor Cryptosporidium genotypes that can infect humans and vice versa. NHPs Chlorocebus aethiops and Colobus guereza and humans have overlapping territories in some regions of Ethiopia, which may increase the risk of zoonotic ...

RT-PCR specific for Cryspovirus is a highly sensitive method for detecting Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts

Food and Waterborne Parasitology, 2016
Cryptosporidium parvum represents a considerable health risk to humans and animals because the parasite has a low infectious dose and is usually present at low numbers in environmental samples, which makes detection problematic. The purpose of this study
