Ultrasonic treatment of Cryptosporidium oocysts
The effect of 20 kHz ultrasound on the viability of Cryptosporidium oocysts was investigated. More than 90% of the dispersed Cryptosporidium oocysts could be deactivated in about 1.5 min of continuous sonication. In order to apply this technique to large quantities of contaminated water, quantitative filtration and redispersion of Cryptosporidium ...

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Transgenic selection and underlying mechanisms in apicomplexan parasites
Transgenic selection markers have driven genetic engineering in apicomplexans, enabling precise, iterative experiments. This review discusses mechanistic details of drug selection markers, strategies for marker recycling, and practical considerations for several clinically relevant parasites.

DETECTION OF CRYPTOSPORIDIUM OOCYSTS IN OVINE AND CAPRINE RAW MILK IN RELATION TO REARING MANAGEMENT [PDF]
During the present study an investigation was made for the assessment of the availability of oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. in 100 samples of raw milk of sheep and goats reared in various places (Baasheqa, Hamdania and Tilkaif) in Ninevah, Iraq. Results

Evaluation of sulfadimidine, amprolium and triquen to treat coccidiosis in wild pigeons
Coccidiosis remains one of the major problems in poultry all over the world. Very limited data on anticoccidial drugs in wild pigeons is available. The current study was aimed to understand the comparative efficacy of sulfadimidine, amprolium and triquen

Infection of Cryptoshoridium parvum Oocysts to Cultured Cells and Detection of the Oocysts by ELISA.
For developing water treatment system to prevent waterborne Cryptosporidiosis, it is necessary to estimate the inactivation of Cryptosporidium. Recently, cell culture model has developed into a tool that can be used for assessing the viability and/or infectivity of Cryptosporidium oocysts.

Shedding of oocysts by immunocompetent individuals with cryptosporidiosis [PDF]
SUMMARYStudies were made on 33 immunocompetent patients with cryptosporidiosis (31 of them children) to determine how long oocyst shedding continued after the cessation of diarrhoea. The majority (20/33) ceased to shed oocysts in the week following the cessation of diarrhoea. However 5 patients (15%) continued to shed oocysts for 2 weeks or more, and 1
