Cryptosporidiosis in India and the World: A Review.
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.
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.
