Cryptosporidium Antibody (BEL 0126) [FITC] Summary

• Immunogen: Purified Cryptosporidium oocysts from bovine faeces
• Specificity: Recognizes a membrane antigen expressed by the oocysts of Cryptosporidium sp., an obligate intracellular parasite of the phylum Apicomplexa. The genome of Cryptosporidium sp. is one of the smallest among unicellular eukaryotic organisms. Cryptosporidium is one of several species that cause cryptosporidiosis; a disease affecting the intestines of mammals which is spread through the faecal-oral route. The main symptom is self-limiting diarrhoea in people with intact immune systems. However, in immunocompromised individuals, such as AIDS patients, infection can cause permanent & life-threatening diarrhoea. Cryptosporidiosis is one of the most common waterborne diseases worldwide.

Background

Cryptosporidium is a small protozoan parasite, measuring about 3-5 um. It lives on (or just under) the surface of the cells lining the small intestine, reproduces asexually, and oocysts are passed in the faeces. Transmission of the infection occurs via the oocysts. Many human infections have been traced to the contamination of drinking water with oocysts from agricultural "run-off" (i.e., drainage from pastures), so it is considered a zoonosis. The most common symptom of cryptosporidiosis is watery diarrhea; other symptoms include stomach cramps or pain, fever, nausea and vomiting. In persons with healthy immune systems, symptoms usually last about 1 to 2 weeks. Cryptosporidiosis is now recognized as an important opportunistic infection, especially in immunocompromised hosts.
