Journal ArticleDOI
Waterborne transmission of protozoan parasites: a worldwide review of outbreaks and lessons learnt.
TL;DR: North American and European outbreaks accounted for 93% of all reports and nearly two-thirds of outbreaks occurred in North America, with the UK accounting for 24% of outbreaks, worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging parasite zoonoses associated with water and food
TL;DR: Robust, efficient detection, viability and typing methods are required to assess risks and to further epidemiological understanding, and global sourcing of food, coupled with changing consumer vogues, can increase the risk of foodborne transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts under various environmental pressures.
TL;DR: Oocysts demonstrated longevity in all water types investigated, including seawater, and when in contact with feces were considered to develop an enhanced impermeability to small molecules which might increase the robustness of the oocysts when exposed to environmental pressures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viability of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts: correlation of in vitro excystation with inclusion or exclusion of fluorogenic vital dyes.
TL;DR: In this paper, a viability assay for oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum based on the inclusion or exclusion of two fluorogenic vital dyes, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and propidium iodide, was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant active components - a resource for antiparasitic agents?
TL;DR: The emergence of parasites resistant to current chemotherapies highlights the importance of plant essential oils as novel antiparasitic agents.
