Waterborne transmission of protozoan parasites: Review of worldwide outbreaks - An update 2011-2016.
TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive update of worldwide waterborne parasitic protozoan outbreaks that occurred with reports published since previous reviews largely between January 2011 and December 2016, and finds developing countries that are probably most affected by such waterborne disease outbreaks still lack reliable surveillance systems.
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
Genetic polymorphism in Cryptosporidium species: An update
TL;DR: All the valid species, genotypes and zoonotic subtypes of Cryptosporidium reported in the international literature are included in this paper with respect to the taxonomy, epidemiology, transmission and morphologic-genetic information for each species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giardia taxonomy, phylogeny and epidemiology: Facts and open questions
TL;DR: The review sheds light on the difficulties of the strain differentiation and multilocus molecular analysis of Giardia strains especially when applied to water samples containing low numbers of cysts and components complicating the problem of tracking sources of contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of LAMP applied to detection of Cryptosporidium, and due to its specificity and simplicity, the method could become a useful diagnostic tool for epidemiologic studies of CryptOSporidium presence.
