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 ...

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

Successful use of insect‐based (Hermetia illucens) diet in dogs with food‐responsive enteropathy
Objective Diet is an integral component of the management of chronic enteropathy in dogs. The role of insect‐based diets in this disease remains unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an insect‐based (Hermetia illucens) diet in dogs with presumed food‐responsive enteropathy.

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.

A Pork Industry in the Backyard: An Analysis of Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Serbia’s Pigs
As pork is an important source for Toxoplasma gondii infection, we have analyzed T. gondii genotypes and toxoplasmosis prevalence in pigs in Serbia in the context of production statistics and economics to assess the specific risk to public health ...

1. The spores of Eimeria (not the oocysts) are the real infective agents and, as in other Sporozoa, they readily set free their sporozoites in the duodenum or in vitro under suitable conditions.2. The protective oocyst has double walls: the ectocyst is thick and impervious to fluids but easily fractures by mechanical means, such as drying.

Viability of preserved Cryptosporidium baileyi oocysts [PDF]
The present study was undertaken to determine the viability and infectivity of oocysts of Cryptosporidium baileyi that had been stored from 1 to 40 months at 4 degrees C preserved in 2.5% potassium dichromate solution. Oocysts of C. baileyi were purified from the feces of experimentally infected chickens using discontinuous sucrose gradients ...

A Genetically Encoded Marker for Imaging of Internal Plasmodium Membranes
IMMP is a peptide‐based marker that labels internal membranes across multiple stages and species of the malaria‐causing parasite Plasmodium. It works in both live and fixed samples and supports long‐term live‐cell imaging. ABSTRACT Fluorescence microscopy is a powerful tool to analyze the subcellular architecture, and long‐term live‐cell imaging ...

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.

Plasmodium Actin‐Like Proteins 3 and 5a Are Required for Subsequent Steps of Mosquito Infection
Actin‐like proteins (Alps) are highly conserved, apicomplexan‐specific members of the actin superfamily. Using reverse genetics, we have identified that Alp3 and Alp5a are required at separate steps of transmission of the malaria parasite to its mosquito host.
