Down for the count: Cryptosporidium infection depletes the gut microbiome in Coquerel’s sifakas
Background: The gut microbiome (GMB) is the first line of defense against enteric pathogens, which are a leading cause of disease and mortality worldwide. One such pathogen, the protozoan Cryptosporidium, causes a variety of digestive disorders that can be devastating and even lethal. The Coquerel's sifaka (Propithecus coquereli) - an endangered, folivorous primate endemic to Madagascar - is pr...
متن کاملCryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium andersoni infection in naturally infected cattle of northwest Iran
The protozoan intestinal parasite Cryptosporidium commonly infects cattle throughout the world and Iran. The present study was undertaken to determine the abundance and associated risk factors of Cryptosporidium infection in cattle herds of northwestern Iran. A total number of 246 fecal samples from 138 (56.1%) diarrheic (D) and 108 (43.9%) non-diarrheic (ND) cattle were rando...
متن کاملStrategies for the control of Cryptosporidium parvum infection in calves.
Cryptosporidium parvum is a protozoan parasite that is now recognized as one of the leading causes of diarrhea in young calves. To date, there are no drugs or preventive measures available for the control of this disease. We have developed an oral vaccine that, when given to calves at birth, protects against experimental challenge with C. parvum. However, when field tested on a large dairy oper...
متن کاملCryptosporidium parvum infection in gene-targeted B cell-deficient mice.
The importance of B cells in host resistance to, and recovery from, Cryptosporidium parvum infection was examined in gene-targeted B cell-deficient (muMT-/-) mice. Neonatal muMT-/- mice infected with C. parvum at 5 days of age completely cleared the infection by day 20 PI. The kinetics of infection and clearance were similar to those seen with age-matched C57BL/6 control mice. Furthermore, B ce...
متن کاملInvolvement of host cell integrin α2 in Cryptosporidium parvum infection.
Cryptosporidium parvum is an opportunistic pathogen in AIDS patients. It is an intracellular but extracytoplasmic parasite residing in a host cell-derived parasitophorous vacuole. It is still poorly understood how this parasite interacts with host cells. We observed that expression of the integrin α2 (ITGA2) gene in host cells was significantly upregulated upon C. parvum infection, and a higher...
