Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis subtypes in crab-eating macaques [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Non-human primates are often infected with human-pathogenic Cryptosporidium hominis subtypes, but rarely with Cryptosporidium parvum. In this study, 1452 fecal specimens were collected from farmed crab-eating macaques (Macaca fascicularis) in ...

Genetic Manipulation of Cryptosporidium parvum

Cryptosporidium parvum can be reliably genetically manipulated using CRISPR/Cas9 driven homologous repair coupled to in vivo propagation in immunodeficient mice. This chapter will guide through foundational procedures for excystation, transfection, infection, collection, and purification of transgenic Cryptosporidium parvum.

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
