Abstract

Cryptosporidiosis is caused by infection with a coccidian parasite belonging to the genus Cryptosporidium. Initially, human cryptosporidiosis was believed to be caused only by one species, but since the advent of molecular studies, 15 more species have been discovered to cause this infection. Among them, Cryptosporidium hominis and Cryptosporidium parvum are the most common species involved. This mainly affects children and causes diarrhea in most cases. It is mainly diagnosed by microscopy, especially in low-middle-income countries. This review covers the epidemiology, life cycle, risk factors, clinical manifestations, different diagnostic methods and treatment of this disease.

隐孢子虫病在印度和世界:综述。

隐孢子虫病是由隐孢子虫属的球虫寄生虫感染引起的。最初，人们认为人类隐孢子虫病只由一个物种引起，但自从分子研究出现以来，又发现了15个物种可以引起这种感染。其中，人源隐孢子虫和小隐孢子虫是最常见的种类。这主要影响儿童，并在大多数情况下导致腹泻。主要通过显微镜诊断，特别是在中低收入国家。现就该病的流行病学、生命周期、危险因素、临床表现、不同的诊断方法和治疗进行综述。

期刊介绍： Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, genomics and biochemistry of contemporary molecular targets involved in infectious disorders e.g. disease specific proteins, receptors, enzymes, genes. Each issue of the journal contains a series of timely in-depth reviews written by leaders in the field covering a range of current topics on drug targets involved in infectious disorders. As the discovery, identification, characterization and validation of novel human drug targets for anti-infective drug discovery continues to grow, this journal will be essential reading for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in drug discovery and development.
