Therapy for human gastrointestinal microsporidiosis.

The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2000
Gastrointestinal microsporidiosis is a major cause of diarrhea and wasting in persons with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Microsporidia demonstrate properties of both true eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The biology of microsporidia makes its elimination from the gastrointestinal tract therapeutically challenging. This organism depends greatly

Prevalence and public health relevance of enteric parasites in domestic dogs and cats in the region of Madrid (Spain) with an emphasis on Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium sp.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 2542-2558, November 2023., 2023
One in two pet dogs and cats is infected by intestinal parasites. Some of them have the potential to infect humans. Pups and kittens were at higher risk of infection. Performing a coproparasitological analysis is essential to establish a correct deworming protocol in these animals.
