Isolation of Cryptosporidium parvum Oocyst From Infected Feces
Introduction Cryptosporidium is a genus of Apicomplexa phylum parasites that can cause a respiratory and gastrointestinal illness (cryptosporidiosis) that primarily involves watery diarrhea (intestinal cryptosporidiosis) with or without a persistent cough (respiratory cryptosporidiosis) in both immunocompetent and immunodeficient humans (1-3). A number of Cryptosporidium species infect mammals ...
متن کاملIsolation of Small Number of Cryptosporidium parvum Oocyst Using Immunochromatography
BACKGROUND Cryptosporidium parvum causes severe gastroenteritis in immunocompromised human and new borne animals. The organism can be transmitted through water. Since small number of C. parvum is infectious, the aim of the present study was to develop a chromatography method for the isolation of C. parvum oocyst in samples with limited number of oocysts. METHODS Antibody was prepared against ...
متن کاملAttachment of Cryptosporidium parvum sporozoites to human intestinal epithelial cells.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based attachment model using the human intestinal cell line Caco-2A was developed to study attachment of Cryptosporidium parvum sporozoites in vitro and to assess potential inhibitors of sporozoite binding. In this system, attachment was related to sporozoite dose, incubation time, and host cell differentiation status. Polyclonal antibodies to C. parvum as w...
متن کاملSeasonal retention and release of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts by environmental biofilms in the laboratory.
Cryptosporidium is a genus of waterborne protozoan parasites that causes significant gastrointestinal disease in humans. These parasites can accumulate in environmental biofilms and be subsequently released to contaminate water supplies. Natural microbial assemblages were collected each season from an eastern Pennsylvania stream and used to grow biofilms in laboratory microcosms in which influx...
