Cryptosporidiosis is a nationally notifiable gastrointestinal illness caused by parasitic protozoa of the genus Cryptosporidium, which can cause profuse, watery diarrhea that can last up to 2-3 weeks in immunocompetent patients and can lead to life-threatening wasting and malabsorption in immunocompromised patients. Fecal-oral transmission of Cryptosporidium oocysts, the parasite's infectious l...
OBJECTIVE To determine risk factors for infection during a cryptosporidiosis outbreak in a rural Missouri community. DESIGN Community-based case-control study. SETTING Madison County, Missouri. PARTICIPANTS Case patients had laboratory-confirmed Cryptosporidium infection. Controls were randomly selected from the community. INTERVENTIONS Pool water and municipal tap water were analyzed f...
BACKGROUND Metronidazole is the most commonly used drug for the treatment of giardiasis in humans. In spite of its therapeutic efficacy for giardiasis, low patient compliance, especially in children, side effects, and the emergence of metronidazole-resistant strains may restrict its use. Albendazole has been used to treat Giardia duodenalis infections in recent years. However, efficacy studies ...
To determine the prevalence of giardiasis in Gambian children with chronic diarrhoea and to assess their response to treatment, 31 children with chronic diarrhoea and malnutrition were investigated for giardiasis using a combination of serology (specific antigiardia IgM antibody) and microscopy of faeces and jejunal biopsy specimens. Fourteen of 31 children with chronic diarrhoea had giardiasis...
Objectives: To determine the prevalence rate of giardiasis among adults and children, males and females of various socio-economic levels in the city of Amman, Jordan. Patients and Methods: All individuals (510) visiting Primary Health Care Centers (PHCCs), were recruited in the study. For each, stool samples were examined microscopically by the formalin ethyl acetate concentration method, and t...
Even though treatment of symptomatic cases as well as improving hygiene and sanitation conditions decrease giardiasis in underdeveloped and/or developing countries, Giardia duodenalis infection is still frequently encountered especially in children living in crowded conditions leading to public health problems. We studied the prevalence of G. duodenalis infection in 274 asymptomatic Thai boy or...
OBJECTIVES To describe the major characteristics of reported notifiable gastrointestinal illness (NGI) data in the Northwest Territories (NWT) from January 1991 through December 2008. DESIGN Descriptive analysis of 708 reported cases of NGI extracted from the Northwest Territories Communicable Disease Registry (NWT CDR). SETTING Primary, secondary and tertiary health care centres across all...
Giardiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) are parasitic diseases that are among the major health concerns observed in economically disadvantaged populations of developing countries, and have clear social and environmental bases. In Brazil, there is a lack of epidemiologic data concerning these infections in the study area, whose inhabitants have plenty of access to health care service...
BACKGROUND Giardiasis is a common, potentially zoonotic disease, and dogs often harbor and shed cysts without showing clinical signs. Treatment with the probiotic Enterococcus faecium SF68 has been shown to stimulate mucosal and systemic immunity in a variety of animal models and in young dogs, and to reduce giardial cyst and antigen shedding in rodents. HYPOTHESIS Adult dogs with chronic nat...
INTRODUCTION Giardiasis is an intestinal infection that affects more than two hundred million people annually worldwide; it is caused by the flagellated protozoan Giardia duodenalis. In tropical countries and in low or middle-income settings, like Brazil, its prevalence can be high. There is currently no systematic review on the presence of G. duodenalis in patients, animals or water sources in...
