BACKGROUND Despite their wide occurrence, cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis are considered neglected diseases by the World Health Organization. The epidemiology of these diseases and microsporidiosis in humans in developing countries is poorly understood. The high concentration of pathogens in raw sewage makes the characterization of the transmission of these pathogens simple through the genotyp...

Some intestinal parasites might impact a child's nutritional condition and lipid profile. It has recently been revealed that these have link to biometric data profiles. As result, the current study aims see how Giardia lamblia Cryptosporidium affect status From October 2021 March 2022, this was done in Baghdad. The participants were 110 children of both sexes, ranging age from 2 17. According r...

Zoonotic diseases are significant causes of morbidity and mortality in humans animals, including birds. These transmitted through several routes reported developing developed nations the world. The dogs cats also act as reservoirs a large number parasitic zoonoses, toxoplasmosis, giardiasis, leishmaniasis, toxocariasis, cryptosporidiosis. roles pet animals (cats dogs) transmitting human infecti...

BACKGROUND Giardia and Cryptosporidium are the most common causes of protozoan diarrhea that lead to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium species infections among children and cattle, and to assess the potential risk of zoonotic transmission. METHODS This cross-sectional study was con...

In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) determined that more than 700 million people were treated with at least one essential medicine for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) under the auspices of a global preventive chemotherapy initiative [1,2]. However, a total of at least 1.9 billion people require annual preventive chemotherapy [1,2], so these efforts will need to be greatly expanded i...

BACKGROUND Giardia lamblia (intestinalis) and Cryptosporidium parvum are the two most important intestinal parasites infecting North Americans but there is a paucity of active population-based surveillance data from Canada. This study determined the incidence of and demographic risk factors for developing Giardia sp. and Cryptosporidium sp. infections in a general Canadian population. METHODS...

Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium sp., and Entamoeba histolytica are important pathogenic intestinal parasites and are amongst the leading causes worldwide of diarrheal illness in humans. Diseases caused by these organisms, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, and amoebiasis, respectively, are characterized by self-limited diarrhea but can evolve to long-term complications. The cellular and molecular ...

Cryptosporidium and Giardia pose a threat to human health in rural environments where water supplies are commonly untreated and susceptible to contamination from agricultural animal waste/manure, animal wastewater, septic tank effluents and septage. Our goals for this paper are to: (1) explore the prevalence of these protozoan parasites, where they are found, in what quantities, and which genot...
