Coccidiosis, a disease caused by protozoa of the genus Eimeria, is one of the most economically important diseases for the poultry industry. Seven species of Eimeria infect the domestic fowl (E. acervulina, E. praecox, E. mitis, E. maxima, E. necatrix, E. brunetti, and E. tenella). In addition, three genetic variants, named operational taxonomic units (OTUs x, y and z) were recently detec…
Protozoa of the genus Cryptosporidium belong to the phylum Apicomplexa, class Gregarinomorphea, present epicellular localization in the mucosal epithelia, particularly the gastrointestinal tract and, occasionally, also infect the respiratory, biliary and urinary tract, causing clinical and subclinical disease in vertebrates. Several Cryptosporidium species and genotypes are zoonotic. For …
Cryptosporidiosis has already been described in many animal species, including amphibians, birds, mammals, fishes and reptiles. Human infection has been described in more than 90 countries from six continents. Even there is no consensus about the definitive classification for Cryptosporidium species, some authors suggest that there are, at least, 27 valid species. This study aims to deter…
Cryptosporidium spp. are protozoa which infect a wide variety of vertebrates. Cryptosporidium parvum has many animal hosts, including humans, and is a major etiological agent of diarrhea in ruminants. Cryptosporidium hominis is a species adapted to the human host. Among the various genetic markers that are used for specific identification of Cryptosporidium, the locus most commonly used f…

Cryptosporidium is considered an emerging pathogen. The shedding of sporulated oocysts in infected hosts is responsible for environmental contamination and disease transmission. The susceptible host is infected by oocysts present in water or food. In humans, infection with Cryptosporidium hominis or Cryptosporidium parvum is more common. However, using molecular biology methods, the prese…
Isosporosis is commonly found in passerine birds and represents one of the most important cause of enteritis in canaries, with mortality rates greater than 80%. To enable a more precise diagnosis, techniques such as morphological and morphometric description and the molecular characterization can be used; the combination of both techniques is considered the most safe and precise method to…

Cryptosporidium spp. are intracellular protozoan parasites that infect the epithelial cells of digestive and respiratory tracts of a wide variety of vertebrates. This parasite may cause self-limiting diarrheal illness in immunocompetent individuals, but in immunocompromised patients it may be fatal. Cryptosporidium parvum has many animal hosts and it is one of the dominant Cryptosporidium…

Cryptosporidium cuniculus was originally detected in rabbits and it has been identified as a human pathogen. However, the incidence, prevalence, and epidemiology of cryptosporidiosis due to C. cuniculus in rabbits and in human populations are still poorly studied. As the identification of C. cuniculus can be time consuming and expensive using the existing molecular assays, such as nested …
