Molecular determination and genotyping of Cryptosporidium spp. in fecal and respiratory samples of industrial poultry in Iran

Abstract

In our work, low rate of Cryptosporidium baileyi infection was detected, but in critical situations and our poor management circumstances, cryptosporidiosis occurs in serious feature especially in immune suppressed individuals.

Prevalence and Genetic Characterization of Cryptosporidium, Giardia and Enterocytozoon in Chickens From Ezhou, Hubei, China

“…The reported main species of Cryptosporidium in chickens include C. meleagridis, C. baileyi (26,27), C. parvum (28), C. galli (29), and avian genotype II (30), and C. meleagridis, C. parvum are zoonotic. In this study, only C. baileyi was identified in chickens, and the occurrence rate was 2.43%, which was in accord with previous reports (0-33.3% in China, 0.7% in Iran, 4.8% in Jordan) (27,31,32). One novel sequence (KY448456) was found, which has a high homology with isolate GU377273 from ostrich, based on sequence alignment.…”

Genetic characterization of Cryptosporidium in animal and human isolates from Jordan

“…A recent study in cattle in Iran identified C. parvum only in calves < six months (Mahami Oskouei et al, 2014), while another study, identified C. andersoni (based on microscopy) in cattle < 1 years old in Iran (Mirzai et al, 2014). Cryptosporidium baileyi was identified in one chicken and has been identified in commercially reared poultry in Iran (Hamidinejat et al, 2014). In two horses, C. parvum and a genetically distinct and potentially novel species was identified, reflecting the unique endemicity of cryptosporidiosis in Jordan.…”

“…Iran using microscopy and PCR (Hamidinejat et al, 2014) and11.3% (198/1749) in sheep in Iran using microscopy (Gharekhani et al, 2014 (Xiao, 2010). However, the IIaA19G2R1 subtype is a relatively rare subtype and has previously been described by Xiao et al (2007), Wielinga et al (2008), Ng et al (2012), Rieux et al (2013) and Couto et al (2014) infecting cattle in the North America, The Netherlands, Australia, France and Brazil, respectively and by Nolan et al (2013) in deer in Australia.…”
