In the relatively short period since Cryptosporidium was recognised as a human pathogen, and that it could be transmitted in water as well as directly between animals and people, it has been the subject of intense investigations. Its status as an opportunistic pathogen, especially in AIDS patients, and the lack of effective anti-cryptosporidial drugs have served to emphasise the public health importance of this organism. This has to some extent overshadowed the fact that Cryptosporidium is also an important pathogen of domestic animals and wildlife. In recent years, the application of molecular biology and culture techniques have had an enormous impact on our understanding of the aetiological agents of cryptosporidial infections and our ability to study the causative agents in the laboratory. As a consequence, a wealth of information and novel data has been produced during the last 3-4 years, particularly in the areas of taxonomy, biology, pathogenesis, epidemiology - particularly zoonotic and water borne transmission, and treatment. It is thus very timely to bring together in this book the international research community involved to review the major advances in research and identify the important research priorities for the future, thus enabling as wide an audience as possible to benefit from and share in this comprehensive look at Cryptosporidium and cryptosporidiosis.

Although widely recognized as an important waterborne pathogen, Cryptosporidium spp. can also be transmitted by contamination of food. The same properties of this protozoan parasite that mean that water is an excellent transmission vehicle are also important for foodborne transmission. These include the low infective dose, the high number of oocysts that are excreted, and the robustness of these transmission stages. However, many more outbreaks of waterborne cryptosporidiosis have been reported than foodborne outbreaks. This is probably partly due to epidemiological tracing being much more difficult for foodborne outbreaks than waterborne outbreaks, and the number of persons exposed to infection often being fewer. Nevertheless, the potential importance of foodborne transmission is gradually being recognized, and a wide range of different foodstuffs have been associated with those outbreaks that have been recorded. Additionally, various factors mean that the potential for foodborne transmission is becoming of increasing importance: these include the growth of international food trade, a current trend for eating raw or very lightly cooked foods, and the rise in small-scale organic farms, where there the possibility for contamination of vegetable crops with animal feces may be greater.

The aim of this book is to clarify the epidemiologic aspects and control related to cryptosporidiosis in humans and domestic animals. Obligate intracellular parasites, the protozoa of the genus Cryptosporidium develop in the microvilli of the epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory and urinary tracts of mammals, birds, reptiles and fish, and cause disease of high socioeconomic impact worldwide. Infected animals, especially cattle, are a source of infection for the environment and humans, because they eliminate large numbers of oocysts in their feces. In people, the implementation of the control includes preventive measures that promote the early diagnosis of this infection. This book discusses the importance (zoonotic aspects), history, etiology, epidemiology, clinical aspects, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and control of cryptosporidiosis in humans, the hydric veiculation as well as aspects of this disease in dogs, cats, chickens, pigeons, psittacines, pigs, horses, goats, buffaloes, bovine and lambs. Unlike other conventional techniques and commercial kits, a technique with high efficiency in the laboratory diagnosis of gastrointestinal parasites of humans and animals has been outstanding in recent years. Under the zoonotic aspect, health professionals may be aware of these clinical signs and take preventive measures for their control. Additionally, the importance of cryptosporidiosis in terms of public health and zoonosis is critiqued.

The protozoan genus Cryptosporidium has recently emerged as the most prevalent and widespread intestinal parasite, infecting humans, other mammals, birds, fish, and snakes. The severity of the infection in people with AIDS spurred intensive research during the 1980s. All known species and host relations are covered here. Reviews the history, taxonomy, structure, life cycle, pathogenesis, pathology, clinical signs and symptoms, immunity, epidemiology, treatment, prevention, and control. Details techniques and diagnostic methods for identifying the tissue and fecal stages, and experimental handling. Describes the critter in surface and drinking water, and in a variety of hosts.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of recent research. Chapters discuss topics from taxonomy, nomenclature and evolution to molecular epidemiology, advances in diagnostics and zoonotic, human and animal health issues.

The serological detection of antibodies to Cryptosporidium has emerged as a potential tool for population level studies. Second generation ELISA methods are known to detect immunoglobulin G (IgG) to two Cryptosporidium sporozoite surface antigens (apparent molecular mass 17 and 27 kDa). During 1996, 1,292 cases of cryptosporidiosis were reported to public health in the province of British Columbia in western Canada. This rate, seven times higher than that in 1995, was due to waterborne outbreaks occurring in this province. It was recognized that collection of serum specimens for study of the host immune response would be important and sera were collected from 41 adult volunteer cases associated with these outbreaks. A total of 232 sera were collected over a 24-month period. These Kinetics Cases sera were used to assess the host immune response. Sera from residents of six communities, some of which had outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis due to contamination of their drinking water, were also tested to determine the usefulness of serology at a population level.The first objective of this project was to determine the sensitivity of the second-generation enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) developed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and of a previously described immunoblot assay. After that, the researchers planned to address some issues related to specificity of the ELISA. Then, the goal was to analyze changes in levels of antibody reactivity over time in persons with laboratory-confirmed cryptosporidiosis. The next objective was to compare initial results of the ELISA and immunoblot at a community level and further assess the usefulness of the ELISA at a population level by testing sera of residents of six communities, some of which had waterborne outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis. Finally, the researchers planned to evaluate the usefulness of saliva specimens for the detection of antibodies to Cryptosporidium using the ELISA assay.
