Detection and molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium spp. in Swedish pigs

Cryptosporidium is a genus of apicomplexan parasites that cause enteric disease in vertebrates. In pigs, infections are most often asymptomatic, but may result in diarrhoea and poor growth. The most…

Prevalence and multilocus genotyping of potentially zoonotic Giardia duodenalis in pigs in Shanghai, China

Investigation of the prevalence of Giardia in pigs in China and its genetic characterization found two pig isolates showed 100% homology with human-derived isolates from Australia and China at the bg and tpi loci respectively.

Occurrence, Molecular Characterization, and Assessment of Zoonotic Risk of Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia duodenalis, and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in Pigs in Henan, Central China

The findings indicate that the presence of zoonotic species/assemblages/genotypes of these pathogens poses a threat to public health, suggesting that pigs in Henan province could be a significant source of human infection and water pollution.

First Characterization and Zoonotic Potential of Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis in Pigs in Hubei Province of China

The findings suggest that both of those parasites in pig in intensive farms of Hubei province, China, pose a potential public health risk.

Occurrence of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in wild birds from Qinghai Lake on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China

The results of the present study demonstrated the wide distribution of Cryptosporidium and Giardia among wild birds, which has potential public health significance, and provided useful molecular epidemiological data for monitoring and investigating the two parasitic protozoa in wild animals and surrounding environments.

Zoonotic Cryptosporidium spp. in Wild Rodents and Shrews

It is indicated that Cryptosporidium protozoan are present in mouse, vole and shrew populations around Finland and the highest zoonotic risk is associated with C. ditrichi in Apodemus flavicollis and C. andersoni in Craseomys rufocanus.

It is suggested that pigs may be a source of zoonotic Cryptosporidium water pollution, and improvements in pig feeding practices, sewage discharge, feces disposal and field worker protection are therefore important to prevent potential public health problems.
