Calcium-Mediated Biophysical Binding of Cryptosporidium parvum Oocysts to Surfaces Is Sensitive to Oocyst Age [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2019 The mechanisms by which pathogens bind to surfaces are of interest to a wide variety of scientific communities, as these mechanisms drive infectivity, fate, and transport of the pathogenic organisms. This study begins to reveal the mechanism of direct binding of Cryptosporidium parvum to surfaces containing both ...

Mathematical Modeling of Toxoplasmosis Considering a Time Delay in the Infectivity of Oocysts
Mathematics, 2022 In this paper, we study the effect of the introduction of a time delay on the dynamics of toxoplasmosis. This time delay is the elapsed time from when oocysts become present in the environment and when they become infectious.

Overview of Poultry Eimeria Life Cycle and Host-Parasite Interactions
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Apicomplexan parasites of the genus Eimeria are organisms which invade the intestinal tract, causing coccidiosis, an enteric disease of major economic importance worldwide.

Viral proteins expressed in the protozoan parasite Eimeria tenella are detected by the chicken immune system [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Eimeria species are parasitic protozoa that cause coccidiosis, an intestinal disease commonly characterised by malabsorption, diarrhoea and haemorrhage that is particularly important in chickens.
