Zoonotic Transmission Assessment of Cryptosporidium spp. in Close Human–Pet Environments in Yunnan Province, China

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study revealed Cryptosporidium infection rates of 11.1% in dogs and 10.4% in cats in human–pet environments in Yunnan, China. Molecular evidence documents one case of pet‐to‐human transmission involving an immunocompromised elderly owner, suggesting vulnerable individuals face higher infection risks despite minimal transmission to immunocompetent ...

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 ...

Prevalence, species identification and genotyping Cryptosporidium from livestock and deer in a catchment in the Cairngorms with a history of a contaminated public water supply

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background The apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium represents a threat to water quality and public health. An important zoonotic species involved in human cryptosporidiosis from contaminated water is Cryptosporidium parvum (C.

Cryptosporidium Priming Is More Effective than Vaccine for Protection against Cryptosporidiosis in a Murine Protein Malnutrition Model. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Cryptosporidium is a major cause of severe diarrhea, especially in malnourished children. Using a murine model of C. parvum oocyst challenge that recapitulates clinical features of severe cryptosporidiosis during malnutrition, we interrogated the effect ...

Looking for Greener Pastures: In Vitro Screening of Phytogenics for the Control of Sparicotyle chrysophrii in Gilthead Sea Bream

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The gill parasite Sparicotyle chrysophrii poses a significant threat to gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) aquaculture in the Mediterranean, causing considerable mortality and economic losses. As traditional chemotherapeutic treatments, like formalin, face growing regulatory restrictions, there is an urgent need for alternative control ...

A HAPPY Map ofCryptosporidium parvum [PDF]

Genome Research, 1998
We have constructed a HAPPY map of the apicomplexan parasiteCryptosporidium parvum. We have placed 204 markers on the 10.4-Mb genome, giving an average marker spacing of ∼50 kb, with an effective resolution of ∼40 kb. HAPPY mapping (an in vitro linkage technique based on screening approximatelyhaploid amounts of DNA by thepolymerase chain reaction) is ...

Murine Intestinal Neonatal and Adult Dendritic Cell Subset Migration and Activation Characteristics in Response to Toll‐Like Receptor Stimulation Through MyD88

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, Volume 103, Issue 4, April 2026.
Despite their importance, dendritic cell subsets are not well characterised in neonates. We here provide fundamental information on the abundance and phenotype of small‐intestinal neonatal DCs and assess the role of MyD88 in neonatal and adult DC migration in response to several toll‐like receptor ligands.

Quantitative microbial risk assessment with microbial source tracking for enteric pathogens in southwest Wisconsin private wells

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Private wells supply drinking water for many households, and their contamination by fecal microbes presents a risk of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI). Risk is thought to vary by contaminating fecal source, but specific associations with fecal source are unknown for most private wells in the United States. This study characterizes AGI risk
