Journal ArticleDOI
Cryptosporidium hominis n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Cryptosporidiidae) from Homo sapiens
Una M. Morgan-Ryan,Abbie Fall,L. A. Ward,Nawal Hijjawi,Irshad M. Sulaiman,Ronald Fayer,R.C. Andrew Thompson,Merle E. Olson,Altaf A. Lal,Lihua Xiao +9 more
TL;DR: Multi-locus analysis of numerous unlinked loci, including a preliminary sequence scan of the entire genome demonstrated this new species of Cryptosporidium to be distinct from C. parvum and also demonstrated a lack of recombination, providing further support for its species status.
Book ChapterDOI
Cryptosporidium and Cryptosporidiosis
R.C.A. Thompson,Merle E. Olson,Guan Zhu,S Enomoto,S Enomoto,Mitchell S. Abrahamsen,Nawal Hijjawi +6 more
TL;DR: A review of the biology, biochemistry and host parasite relationships of Cryptosporidium can be found in this paper, where the authors highlight the uniqueness of this organism in terms of its parasite life style and evolutionary biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific and quantitative detection and identification of Cryptosporidium hominis and C. parvum in clinical and environmental samples
Rongchang Yang,Cain Murphy,Yong Song,Josephine Ng-Hublin,Annika Estcourt,Nawal Hijjawi,Rachel M. Chalmers,Stephen J. Hadfield,Andrew Bath,Cameron Gordon,Una Ryan +10 more
TL;DR: A quantitative qPCR assay using minor groove binder-probes targeting a unique Cryptosporidium specific protein-coding gene, that directly detects, quantitates and identifies C. hominis and C. parvum in environmental and faecal samples is developed and validated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete development and long-term maintenance of Cryptosporidium parvum human and cattle genotypes in cell culture
TL;DR: This study describes the complete development (from sporozoites to sporulated oocysts) of Cryptosporidium parvum (human and cattle genotypes) in the HCT-8 cell line and for the first time the complete life cycle was perpetuated in vitro for up to 25 days by subculturing.
Journal ArticleDOI
New developments in Cryptosporidium research
Una Ryan,Nawal Hijjawi +1 more
TL;DR: Molecular and biological studies indicate that Cryptosporidium is more closely related to gregarine parasites rather than to coccidians, and whole genome sequencing and metabolomics have expanded understanding of the biochemical requirements of this organism and have identified new drug targets.
