Epidemiological and Molecular Study of Cryptosporidium in Preweaned Calves in Kuwait
Animals, 2022 Cryptosporidium is a worldwide enteric protozoan parasite that causes gastrointestinal infection in animals, including humans. The most notable species is Cryptosporidium parvum because of its zoonotic importance; it is also the leading cause of ...

Microfluidics for effective concentration and sorting of waterborne protozoan pathogens [PDF]
, 2016 We report on an inertial focussing based microfluidics technology for concentrating waterborne protozoa, achieving a 96% recovery rate of Cryptosporidium parvum and 86% for Giardia lamblia at a throughput (mL/min) capable of replacing centrifugation. The

Cryptosporidium parvum genome project
Comparative and Functional Genomics, 2001 AbstractA lack of basic understanding of parasite biology has been a limiting factor in designing effective means of treating and preventing disease caused by Cryptosporidium parvum. Since the genomic DNA sequence encodes all of the heritable information responsible for development, disease pathogenesis, virulence, species permissiveness and immune ...
