Nanoparticle Lysis of Cryptosporidium Oocysts

Methods and Protocols
The extraction of DNA from Cryptosporidium oocysts is challenging due to the robust oocyst wall. Nanoparticles have been applied to disinfect Cryptosporidium oocysts; here, we demonstrate the utilisation of nanoparticles to disrupt the oocyst wall to enable sporozoite lysis and detection via PCR.

Successful Management of Septic Splenitis in an Abyssinian Cat

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
A 3.5‐year‐old female neutered Abyssinian with pyrexia of unknown origin and splenomegaly was diagnosed with septic splenitis. Complete resolution of clinical signs followed splenectomy and antibiotic treatment with pradofloxacin. Septic splenitis, although uncommon, should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with splenomegaly and ...

Zoonotic Transmission Assessment of Cryptosporidium spp. in Close Human–Pet Environments in Yunnan Province, China

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study revealed Cryptosporidium infection rates of 11.1% in dogs and 10.4% in cats in human–pet environments in Yunnan, China. Molecular evidence documents one case of pet‐to‐human transmission involving an immunocompromised elderly owner, suggesting vulnerable individuals face higher infection risks despite minimal transmission to immunocompetent ...

Seroprevalence of Neospora caninum in Camelids of the New and Old World: A Global Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Based on the present systematic review and meta‑analysis, the pooled prevalence of N. caninum in camelids was 10% (95% CI: 7%–12%) with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 93.75%, p < 0.0001). The highest rate was detected in Old World camelids, 14% (95% CI: 10%–19%), indicating that this group is more susceptible to N. caninum exposure.

Eimeria spp. in Cattle: A Global Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This global synthesis, based on 203 studies across 55 countries, revealed a substantial worldwide burden of Eimeria spp. infection in cattle (33.6%), with calves and females showing disproportionately higher infection frequencies and E. bovis and E. zuernii identified as the predominant pathogenic species.

Impact of artemether–lumefantrine treatment, circadian rhythm, and serum replacement on the infectiousness of wild Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes to Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto mosquitoes

Frontiers in Malaria
BackgroundIn the era of asymptomatic gametocytemia, carriers are scarce but serve as key reservoirs for Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes. Transmission-blocking interventions (TBIs) are gaining attention, considering factors such as artemether ...

A technique for separating oocysts from faeces [PDF]

Avian Pathology, 1975
A technique to separate oocysts from large amounts of faeces by a "Continuous-Flow-Different-Density-Flotation" method is presented. Measures to save labour and to decrease the risk of contaminating the laboratory as well as the oocyst isolate during the centrifugation and harvesting of the oocysts from the centrifuge are described.

Detection and Confirmation of Toxoplasma Oocysts in the Soil

The Japanese Journal of Veterinary Science, 1975
An outbreak of swine toxoplasmosis occurred in a hoggery in Shizuoka Pre-fecture. In the hoggery, pigs had been fed soil with pig-feed for 3 consecutive days from1 week before the outbreak of the disease. Toxoplasma oocysts were detected directly fromthe soil in the hoggery.A combination (Metlaod III) of ultrasonic treatment and sugar floatation method
