Molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium isolates obtained from human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals living in Switzerland, Kenya, and the United States. [PDF]
A total of 22 Cryptosporidium isolates from human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients from Kenya, Switzerland, and the United States were examined at three genetic loci: the 18S ribosomal DNA, HSP-70, and acetyl coenzyme A synthetase genes.

This cross‐sectional study reports the prevalence and molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis in Algerian equines. C. equi and C. hominis were detected for the first time in Algerian horses and donkeys, respectively, and equines are identified as potential sources of zoonotic C. parvum subtypes.

Simplified methods for obtaining purified oocysts from mice and for growing Cryptosporidium parvum in vitro [PDF]
Seven- to 8-day-old Arc/Swiss mice were infected with 100,000-120,000 Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts. At 8 days postinfection (PI) the jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, and rectum were removed.

In Vitro Antiparasitic Effects of Silver Nanoparticles on Sarcocystis Bradyzoites
In vitro, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit dose and time‐dependent antiparasitic activity against Sarcocystis bradyzoites from sheep, achieving up to 59.53% mortality at 800 µg/mL after 120 min. These results suggest AgNPs may be a potential alternative to traditional drugs, meriting further in vivo investigation for veterinary use.

Cryptosporidium Taxonomy: Recent Advances and Implications for Public Health (Review) [PDF]
There has been an explosion of descriptions of new species of Cryptosporidium during the last two decades. This has been accompanied by confusion regarding the criteria for species designation, largely because of the lack of distinct morphologic ...

Risk Ranking of Microbiological Hazards in Food (2015–2019)
Abstract Microbiological food safety risks arise from pathogens that can contaminate food at different points along the food chain. Exposure to these hazards can result in illnesses that can vary widely in severity and duration, depending on factors such as the specific pathogen involved, the amount of the pathogen ingested, and the susceptibility of ...

Characterisation of Cryptosporidium growth and propogation in cell free environments [PDF]
Cryptosporidium is an enteric parasite that has a global impact on the health and survival of millions of people and animals worldwide. The resistant oocyst stage of the organism's life cycle is excreted in the faeces of infected animals and humans and ...
