Development of novel therapeutic interventions is critical as current treatments are entirely ineffective in treating cryptosporidiosis in populations at the greatest risk for disease. Repeated cycling of host cell invasion and replication by sporozoites results in the rapid amplification of parasite numbers and the pathology associated with the disease. Little is known regarding the factors that promote the switch from invasion to replication of Cryptosporidium, or the mechanisms underlying this change, but identification of replication triggers could provide potential targets for drugs designed to prevent cryptosporidiosis. The focus of this dissertation was to identify potential triggers and the mechanisms underlying the transition from invasive sporozoite to replicative trophozoites in Cryptosporidium.

  • Studies in Cryptosporidium
    STUDIES IN CRYPTOSPORIDIUM: MAINTENANCE OF STABLE POPULATIONS THROUGH IN VIVO PROPOGATION AND MOLECULAR DETECTION STRATEGIES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Norma E. Ramirez, M.P.H. ! ! ! ! The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Srinand Sreevatsan, Adviser Dr. Y.M. Saif ______________________________ Dr. Roger W. Stich Adviser Dr. Lucy A. Ward Graduate Program in Veterinary Preventive Medicine ABSTRACT Cryptosporidiosis, an infection caused by several genotypically and phenotypically diverse Cryptosporidium species, is a serious enteric disease of animals and humans worldwide. The current understanding of cryptosporidiosis, transmission, diagnosis, treatment and prevention measures for this disease is discussed. Contaminated water represents the major source of Cryptosporidium infections for humans. Manure from cattle can be a major source of Cryptosporidium oocysts. Oocysts transport to surface water can occur through direct fecal contamination, surface transport from land-applied manure or leaching through the soil to groundwater. Identification of Cryptosporidium species and genotypes facilitates determining the origin of the oocysts and to recognize sources of infection in outbreak situations and the risk factors associated with transmission. Very few studies have applied isolation methods to field samples because of difficulties with detection of oocysts in environmental samples. The objective of this study was to develop an easy method that can be applied to field samples to rapidly detect the presence of Cryptosporidium oocysts and identify their species. A molecular detection system that included an oocyst recovery method combined with spin column DNA extraction, followed by PCR- hybridization for detection and a Real-Time PCR-melting curve analysis for species ii assignment.

  • Prevalence and Risk Factors for Cryptosporidiosis: a Global, Emerging, Neglected Zoonosis
    Asian Biomedicine Vol. 10 No. 4 August 2016; 309 - 325 DOI: 10.5372/1905-7415.1004.493 Review article Prevalence and risk factors for cryptosporidiosis: a global, emerging, neglected zoonosis Pwaveno Huladeino Bamaiyi1, Nur Eliyana Mohd Redhuan Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, Kelantan 16100, Malaysia Background: Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the important parasitic diarrheal agent Cryptosporidium spp. Cryptosporidiosis occurs in all classes of animals and man with a rapidly expanding host range and increased importance since the occurrence of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in man. Objectives: To review the global picture of cryptosporidiosis in man and animals with emphasis on prevalence and risk factors. Methods: Current relevant literature on cryptosporidiosis was reviewed. Results: Cryptosporidiosis is widely distributed and the risk factors vary from one region to another with hygiene and immune status as important risk factors. Conclusions: Cryptosporidium spp. associated mortality has not only been reported in immune-compromised patients, but also in immune-competent patients. Yet in many countries not much attention is paid to the control and prevention of this infection in animals and man. The neglect of this disease despite the serious threat it poses to animals, their husbandry, and humans, has led the World Health Organization to list it among globally neglected diseases. To control and prevent this infection more effort needs to be directed at controlling the risk factors of the infection in man and animals. Keywords: Human and animal husbandry, cryptosporidiosis, neglected zoonosis Cryptosporidiosis is a parasitic zoonotic disease undergoing cancer chemotherapy, and any other affecting all terrestrial and most aquatic animals condition that compromises the immune system caused by 26 validated species (18 other species including simple malnutrition.

  • Cryptosporidium Infection in Wild Reptiles in Australia Fact Sheet
    Cryptosporidium infection in wild reptiles in Australia Fact sheet Cryptosporidium spp. are protozoal parasites which were first confirmed to infect reptiles in 1977 (Brownstein et al. 1977). Since then they have been identified as a cause of predominantly gastrointestinal disease in a wide range of reptile species, mostly snakes and lizards. Prevalence of Cryptosporidium spp. infection in wild Australian reptiles is not known. Cryptosporidium spp. (Apicomplexa: Cryptosporidiidae) are small, 4-8 µm protozoa that infect the gastrointestinal and occasionally, respiratory and biliary tract of a wide variety of vertebrates, including humans (Upton et al. 1989). Currently over 30 Cryptosporidium species have been recognised (Šlapeta 2017).The two most common species that infect reptiles are Cryptosporidium serpentis and C. saurophilum [synonymous with C. varanii (Pavlasek and Ryan 2008)], both of which affect snakes and lizards (Xiao et al. 2004). A third species, C. ducismarci, which was identified in chelonians with intestinal disease, was recently proposed (Traversa 2010). Cryptosporidium parvum and C. muris are mammalian cryptosporidia that may be found in reptiles after consuming infected prey. They are not infective for reptiles but represent a potential zoonotic risk (Zahedi et al. 2016). The genus Cryptosporidium has been identified in numerous hosts, including mammals, birds, reptiles and fish (O'Donoghue 1995). The first confirmed reptilian cases of Cryptosporidium sp. infection were reported in 1977 in 14 snakes from three genera and four species (Brownstein et al. 1977). Since then, Cryptosporidium infections have been recorded in over 57 reptile species including 40 snake species, 15 lizard species and two species of tortoise (O'Donoghue 1995).
