The aim of this study was to identify the features CD4+ lymphocytes apoptosis in children with cryptosporidiosis. Feces for detection cryptosporidium and venous blood were material study. Mononuclear leukocytes isolated from whole cultured a complete culture medium. Cells incubated 24 hours inducers receptor (TNFα) mitochondrial pathways (dexamethasone). Cryptosporidia have been found 35% acute...

BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether it is possible to develop a spatiotemporal epidemic prediction model for cryptosporidiosis disease. This paper examined the impact of social economic and weather factors on cryptosporidiosis and explored the possibility of developing such a model using social economic and weather data in Queensland, Australia. METHODS Data on weather variables, notified c...

Previous evidence has suggested an association between consumption of unfiltered water from Loch Lomond, Scotland, and cryptosporidiosis. Before November 1999, this water had been only microstrained and disinfected with chlorine; however, since that time, physical treatment of the water (coagulation, rapid gravity filtration) has been added. To determine risk factors, including drinking water, ...

OBJECTIVE To describe a nosocomial outbreak of cryptosporidiosis during four months after June 1989. SETTING A department of infectious diseases in Copenhagen, seeing about half the patients with AIDS in Denmark. SUBJECTS 73 HIV antibody negative subjects and 60 antibody positive subjects admitted as inpatients during the transmission period of the outbreak (20 June-14 August), of whom 18 (...

Outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis have been linked to weather patterns such as heavy precipitation. However, outbreaks only account for a small percentage of all cryptosporidiosis cases and so the causes of the majority of cases are uncertain. This study assessed the role of environmental factors in all cases of cryptosporidiosis by using ordinary least-squares regression to examine the relationsh...

OBJECTIVE To study epidemiology and possible risk factors associated with the development of cryptosporidiosis among European patients with AIDS. METHODS An inception cohort of 6548 patients with AIDS, consecutively diagnosed from 1979 to 1989, from 52 centres in 17 European countries was studied. Data on all AIDS defining events were collected retrospectively from patients' clinical records....

Cryptosporidiosis causes gastroenteritis and is transmitted to humans via contaminated water and food, and contact with infected animals and people. We analyse long-term cryptosporidiosis patterns across Australia (2001-2012) and review published Australian studies and jurisdictional health bulletins to identify high risk populations and potential risk factors for disease. Using national data o...

Cryptosporidiosis, caused by Cryptosporidium parvum, is self-limited in immunocompetent hosts but may cause chronic diarrhea in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Substance P (SP), a neuropeptide belonging to the tachykinin family, is expressed in gastrointestinal tract and can cause electrogenic chloride anion secretion. Therefore, we studied SP mRNA and protein expressio...

In this study parasitic infection of bobwhite and Japanese quails were clarified in farms of Garmsar city in province of Semnan. Forty quails from two breeds randomly were selected and they examined to identify all internal and external parasites .Finding was shown that five percent of the quails examined harbored one or more species of helminthes. Two cestodes, Raillietina echinobothrida and R...

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis and the associated factors, and characterise the Cryptosporidium isolates from children aged five years and less with diarrhoea. DESIGN A prospective cross-sectional study. SETTING This was a health facility and laboratory based study. Screening for Cryptosporidium oocysts was done at the Microbiology laboratory, School of Medicine...
