Human cryptosporidiosis caused by Cryptosporidium tyzzeri and C. parvum isolates presumably transmitted from wild mice.

چکیده
We report a case of severe human cryptosporidiosis caused by Cryptosporidium tyzzeri and C. parvum with an unusually high frequency of liquid stools. Wild mice were the most likely source of infection, demonstrating the potential for wild-mouse-borne Cryptosporidium to infect humans and highlighting the health risks associated with synantropic rodents.

Evidence supporting zoonotic transmission of Cryptosporidium spp. in Wisconsin.
Cryptosporidium hominis and Cryptosporidium parvum are the primary species of Cryptosporidium that infect humans. C. hominis has an anthroponotic transmission cycle, while C. parvum is zoonotic, infecting cattle and other ruminants, in addition to humans. Most cryptosporidiosis outbreaks in the United States have been caused by C. hominis, and this species is often reported as the primary cause...

Background: Cryptosporidiosis is prevalent in animals and human beings, both immuno-competent and immuno-compromised persons, worldwide. Epidemiologically, it is important to differentiate between human and animal species. The aim of this study is to define the utility of a 1055 bp fragment of 18s rRNA for differentiation of Human and Cattle Cryptosporidiosis. Material and methods: 1020 human...
متن کاملMechanical transport and transmission of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts by wild filth flies.
Over the course of six months wild filth flies were collected from traps left for 7-10 days in a barn with or without a calf shedding Cryptosporidium parvum Genotype 2 oocysts in diarrheic feces. The oocysts of C. parvum transported on the flies' exoskeletons and eluted from their droplets left on visited surfaces were infectious for mice. The mean number of oocysts carried by a fly varied from...
متن کاملFirst molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium in Yemen.
Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite of humans and animals and has a worldwide distribution. The parasite has a unique epidemiology in Middle Eastern countries where the IId subtype family of Cryptosporidium parvum dominates. However, there has been no information on Cryptosporidium species in Yemen. Thus, this study was conducted in Yemen to examine the distribution of Cryptosporidium speci...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology, spatiotemporal analysis, and ecology of sporadic human cryptosporidiosis in Australia.
Parasites from the Cryptosporidium genus are the most common cause of waterborne disease around the world. Successful management and prevention of this emerging disease requires knowledge of the diversity of species causing human disease and their zoonotic sources. This study employed a spatiotemporal approach to investigate sporadic human cryptosporidiosis in New South Wales, Australia, betwee...
