Global Distribution, Public Health and Clinical Impact of the Protozoan Pathogen Cryptosporidium

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Cryptosporidium spp. are coccidians, oocysts‐forming apicomplexan protozoa, which complete their life cycle both in humans and animals, through zoonotic and anthroponotic transmission, causing cryptosporidiosis. The global burden of this disease is still underascertained, due to a conundrum transmission modality, only partially unveiled, and on a ...

Rapid Diagnosis of Intestinal Parasitic Protozoa, with a Focus on Entamoeba histolytica

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
Entamoeba histolytica is an invasive intestinal pathogenic parasitic protozoan that causes amebiasis. It must be distinguished from Entamoeba dispar and E. moshkovskii, nonpathogenic commensal parasites of the human gut lumen that are morphologically identical to E. histolytica. Detection of specific E.
