AIM To investigate the spatial relationship between climate variability and cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis notifications in New Zealand between 1997 and 2006. METHODS Negative binomial regression was used to analyse spatial relationships between cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis notifications in New Zealand between 1997 and 2006, and climatological average rainfall and temperature at the Cen...

A number of protozoa are known to cause bowel disease in humans. Here the author discusses clinical features, diagnosis and management those more likely be encountered by doctors temperate zones.

BACKGROUND G. intestinalis and Cryptosporidium spp. are responsible for gastrointestinal infections worldwide. Contaminated food, feces, drinking water and predictors such as poverty, cultural and behavioral aspects have been involved in their transmission. Published studies about these infections are limited in Mexico. Cananea, Sonora is located in northwest Mexico and is one of the regions wi...

Abstract Surveillance for soil-transmitted helminths, strongyloidiasis, cryptosporidiosis, and giardiasis was conducted in Mississippi, USA. PCR performed on 224 fecal samples all helminths 370 only Necator americanus Strongyloides stercoralis identified 1 S. infection. Seroprevalences were 8.8% Toxocara, 27.4% Cryptosporidium, 5.7% Giardia, 0.2% parasites.

from december 1990 to june 1992 in ahwaz, capital of khoozestan province, 1333 patients referred to khoozestan parasitology center, in 29 cases of whom cryptosporidium pallium was detected. all infected patients were less than eight years of age. the parasite was most prevalent in the 0-1 year old age group. though some c. parvlil1l infected cases harboured giardia lamblia, there was no relatio...

Infections by the protozoan enteroparasites Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp are a major cause of morbidity in children attending day care facilities in developed countries. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to estimate the occurrence and genotype frequencies of these pathogens in children attending day care centers in Majadahonda, Central Spain. To do so, single stool samples w...

BACKGROUND Evaluating the influence of climate variability on enteric disease incidence may improve our ability to predict how climate change may affect these diseases. OBJECTIVES To examine the associations between regional climate variability and enteric disease incidence in New Zealand. METHODS Associations between monthly climate and enteric diseases (campylobacteriosis, salmonellosis, ...

The goal of this research was evaluate the infection by cryptosporidiosis giardiasis in a population Cerrado biome its relation land use. Raw water samples were collected from 41 different surface sources state Goiás (Brazil). parasites quantified via membrane filtration method. probability an individual contra...
