CHARACTERIZATION OF SUBTILASE PROTEASE IN CRYPTOSPORIDIUM PARVUM AND C. HOMINIS (2007)

Xiaochuan Feng, Donna E. Akiyoshi, Giovanni Widmer, Saul Tzipori

Cryptosporidium spp., enteropathogens of humans and other animals, are members of the Apicomplexa. In parasites belonging to this phylum, proteases have been shown to play a key role in the invasion...

Development of Patent Infection in Immunosuppressed C57BL/6 Mice with a Single Cryptosporidium meleagridis Oocyst (2003)

Kehe Huang, Donna E. Akiyoshi, Xiaochuan Feng, Saul Tzipori

The ability of Cryptosporidium meleagridis to produce patent infection was studied in adult C57BL/6 mice that were immunosuppressed with dexamethasone phosphate provided in the drinking water at a...

Identification of a Full-Length cDNA for an Endogenous Retrovirus of Miniature Swine

Akiyoshi, Donna E., Denaro, Maria, Zhu, Haihong, Greenstein, Julia L., Banerjee, Papia, Fishman, Jay A.

Endogenous retroviruses of swine are a concern in the use of pig-derived tissues for xenotransplantation into humans. The nucleotide sequence of porcine endogenous retrovirus taken from lymphocytes...

Characterization of Cryptosporidium meleagridis of Human Origin Passaged through Different Host Species

Akiyoshi, Donna E., Dilo, Julia, Pearson, Christine, Chapman, Susan, Tumwine, James, Tzipori, Saul

Cryptosporidium meleagridis, a protozoon first observed in turkeys, has been linked by several investigators to cryptosporidiosis in humans. C. meleagridis is the only known Cryptosporidium species...

Rapid Displacement of Cryptosporidium parvum Type 1 by Type 2 in Mixed Infections in Piglets

Akiyoshi, Donna E., Mor, Siobhan, Tzipori, Saul

Genotypes 1 and 2 of Cryptosporidium parvum are the primary types associated with infections in humans, with type 1 being by far the predominant genotype. The frequency of mixed infection with both...

Serial Propagation of the Microsporidian Enterocytozoon bieneusi of Human Origin in Immunocompromised Rodents

Feng, Xiaochuan, Akiyoshi, Donna E., Sheoran, Abhineet, Singh, Inderpal, Hanawalt, Joel, Zhang, Quanshun, ...

Enterocytozoon bieneusi, a microsporidian, is clinically one of the most significant opportunistic causes of diarrhea and wasting associated with profound human immunodeficiencies. The lack of an...
