Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of 5 types of Cryptosporidium parasites in children in Lima, Peru.

TL;DR: There was no significant difference in age, antecedent stunting, percentage with diarrhea, or duration of diarrhea for episodes with human genotype, compared with those of zoonotic Cryptosporidium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk Factors for Toxoplasma gondii Infection in the United States

TL;DR: In the United States, exposure to certain raw or undercooked foods and exposure to kittens are risk factors for T. gondii infection and knowledge of these risk factors will help to target prevention efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Causes of Outbreaks Associated with Drinking Water in the United States from 1971 to 2006

Efficacy of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine for prevention of placental malaria in an area of Kenya with a high prevalence of malaria and human immunodeficiency virus infection.
