  • We observed the time gap between oocyst shedding and antibody responses in mice (3-week-old C57BL/6J females) infected with Cryptosporidium parvum. Oocyst shedding was verified by modified acid-fast staining. The individually collected mouse sera were assessed for C. parvum IgM and IgG antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from 5 to 25 weeks after infection. The results showed that C. parvum oocysts were shed from day 5 to 51 post-infection (PI). The IgM antibody titers to C. parvum peaked at week 5 PI, whereas the IgG antibody titers achieved maximum levels at week 25 PI. The results revealed that IgM responses to C. parvum infection occurred during the early stage of infection and overlapped with the oocyst shedding period, whereas IgG responses occurred during the late stage and was not correlated with oocyst shedding. Hence, IgM antibody detection may prove helpful for the diagnosis of acute cryptosporidiosis, and IgG antibody detection may prove effective for the detection of past infection and endemicity.

  • 한국산 개로부터 Isospornohioenis를 분리하기 위하여 형태학적 특성을 관찰하였던 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 즉, 전북지방의 개의 분편에서 검출된 Isospora spp. 중 I. ohioensis의 oocyst 하나를 분리하여 강아지에 경구감염시켜 얻은 oocyst를 다시 5두의 개에 감염시킨 후 형태학적 특성을 현미경하에서 관제하였다. 이의 잠복기는 4일이었으며 분편내에 배출된 oocyst의 크기는 $22.9{\;}{\times}{\;}19.8{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ (R = 1.16)이었고 sporont의 크기는 $17 4{\;}{\times}{\;}16.3{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ (R = 1.06)이었다. 96시간에 있어서 포자가 완전히 형성되었으며 oocyst 및 sporocyst의 크기는 각각 $22.8{\;}{\times}{\;}20.5{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ (R = 1.11)과 $15.0{\;}{\times}{\;}10.8{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ (R = 1.39)이었다. 포자형성 후에 oocyst 및 sporocyst의 크기는 거의 변화가 없었던 점으로 보아 개의 분편검사를 통한 Isosporc속의 감별진단을 위하여 96시간 정도의 포자형성기문이 필요할 것으로 예상되는 바이다.

  • 고양이를 제외한 포유동물 및 조류는 oocyst 또는 cyst의 섭취로 감염되고 무성생식을 한다. 급성기에는 tachyzoite ($2~3{\times}5~7$\;\mu\textrm{m}$)가 여러 장기에서, 숙주 변역이 활성화된 이후인 만성기에는 100~1,000 개의 bradyzoite를 내장하며 주변에 염증반응이 없는 cyst (직경 $20~50;\mu\textrm{m}$)가 근육 및 뇌에서 관찰된다. Tachyzoite는 태반을 통해 태아 감염을 일으킨다. 고양이는 oocyst 또는 cyst의 섭취로 감염되고, 기타 동물에서 보이는 감염양식 외에 소장에서 coccidiosis양의 증식이 이루어짐으로 oocyst (Isospora 형, $10{\times}12;\mu\textrm{m}$)를 배출한다.

  • A total of 168 seven days-old Arbor Acres chicks were reared in late-autumn on 4 types of litters; sawdust, rice husk, sugarcane bagasse or wheat straw up to 49 days of age to compare the growth performance, evaluate the manureal value and Coccidial oocyst population in used litter. Sadust, rice husk, sugarcane bagasse and wheat straw did not differ statistically for live weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and survivability (p>0.05). However, live weight and survivability tended to increase on sawdust. The highest moisture content of used litter was found in sugarcane bagasse followed by sawdust, rice husk and wheat straw (p<0.05). Rice husk contained the highest amount of of nitrogen, phosphurus and potassium followed by sawdust, sugarcane bagasse and wheat straw (p<0.01). Oocyst content of all treatment groups increased suddenly up to 5 weeks of age and thereafter suddenly declined up to 7 weeks of age. Litter materials did not differ at 35 and 42 days of age for oocyst content, but significantly differed at 49 days of age (p<0.01). So, the above findings reveal that sawdust may be suitable litter followed by rice husk, sugarcane bagasse and wheat straw in late-autumn in Bangladesh in respect of broiler growth performance.

  • The diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis has been carried out using coprologic techniques in the Republic of Korea. However, antibody responses to Cryptosporidium have rarely been studied. Serum antibodies from HIV-positive/oocyst-positive Korean patients recognized significantly 31 and 27 kDa antigens, and HIV-negative/oocyst-positive individuals clearly reacted to 15/17 kDa antigens. Compared with oocyst-positive cases, 18.7% and 75.8% of sera from HIV-positive patients reacted to 31 and 27 kDa antigens. Only 11.1% of HIV-negative individuals reacted to 15/17 kDa. Based on these findings, serum antibody responses were different between HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals infected with Cryptosporidium, and it is suggested that HIV-positive patients are more frequently exposed to C. parvum compared to HIV-negative individuals.

  • The result that investigated aberage weekly oocyst nymbers in faeces from 16 broiler farms, Oocyst can be found in the highest during the 5 weeks age. The 3 of the 16 farms have clinical sign of the coccidiosis at the faeces collection. Anticoccidial drug sensitivity against Oocyst isolated in 2 farms to have clinical coccidiosis was tested for the drug susceptibility and resistance in order to prevention coccidiosis effectively. Maduramicin, Salynomicif Narasin Lasalocid, Monensin, Robenidine and Dicrazulir were used an anticoccidial drugs. The results ; Anticoccidial index(ACI) of the A farm were 201.50 in a chicken group treated with Dicrazulir, 194.84 with Robenidine. 172.79 with Maduramicin 6ppm 170.49 with Salynomicin, 168.02 with maduramicin 5ppm 165.77 with Lasalocid, 143.34 with Monensin and 140.63 with Narasin. ACI of the B farm were 193.40 in a chicken group treated Robenidine, 190.64 with Dicrazuril, 158.75 with Maduramic in 6ppm, 151.62 with Maduramicin 5ppm, 149.44 with Salynomicin, 143.10 with lasalocid, 138.11 with Monensin and 137.50 with Narasin. According to interpretation of ACI from Kawasae et al, the drug resistance(less than 120 of ACI) not appeared in two farms, vut the drug tolerance(120-160 of ACI) appeared in two group treated with Monesin and Nalacin in csae of A farm and in all group with treated anticoccidial drug in case of B farm.

  • Cryptosporidium muris(strain MCR)를 3주령의 각 마우스에 $2{\;}\times{\;}10^6$개의 오오시스트차 그 10 배 단계 희석계열을 $2{\;}{\times}{\;}10^5$까지 5단계를 만들어 경구접종하여 오오시스트 배설g/100g을 조사하고 나서 초감염내과 마우스에 처음에 50 mg/100g. 그 24시간 후에 12.5 mg/100 g의 carrageenan을 복강내 투여하고 그 6시간 후에 다시 $2{\;}\times{\;}10^6$개의 오오시스트를 2차접종하여 면역원성을 조사하였다 일반적으로 오오시스트 투여량이 많을수록 오오시스트 배설량이 많았으나 prepatent period(9-11일간)와 오오시스트 생산이 피이크에 이르는 기간(16-36일간)은 짧았다. Patent period는 61-64일간이었으며 15-31일간에 걸쳐 오오시스트가 많이 생산되었다. 한편 IgG 항체가의 현저한 상승과 분변내 오오시스트 소멸은 일치하였다 Carrageenan 투여군은 오오시스트 재차접종 후 16 0-18.0(16.6)일부터 61-66.5(64.8)일까지 46.0-51.5(49.0)일간 대조군은 15.5-17.5(16.4)일부터 29.0-31.0(29.8)일까지 12.0-16.0(14.2)일간에 걸쳐 소수의 오오시스트가 검출되었다. 재차접종 직전의 말초혈액내 대식세포수 및 복강내 대식세포 활성은 대조군에 비하여 carrageenan 투여군이 현저하게 낮았다(P < 0.05). 이는 Me blocker인 carrageenan을 투여하였음에도 불구하고 이 원충의 2차감염이 미약하였다는 것은 이 원충의 면역원성이 매우 강력하다는 것을 뜻한다.

  • 반추동물에 있어서 쥐와포자충의 감염 동태에 관한 지식에는 불충분한 점이 많다. 그래서 11마리의 1~20일령의 재래산양과 면양에 $2{\;}{\times}{\;}10^7$의 쥐와포자충 (MCR주) 난포낭 (oocyst)을 한 번에 경구투여한 다음 분변 내의 난포낭 배설 양상을 관찰하였다. 11마리의 재래산양과 면양 중 4마리에서만 분턴에서 억대 (108/day/head)에 이르는 난포낭이 검출되었는데 반해 3마리에서 천만대, 나머지 예에서는 극히 적은 수만이 검출되었다. 전기생충증명기는 19-35일로서 평균 $28.1{\;}{\pm}{\;}5.8일$, 기생충증명기는 16-85일로서 평균 $47.8{\;}{\pm}{\;}21.1일$, 분변 내 난포낭 배설량은 최고가 $613.5{\;}{\times}{\;}10^6$, 평균 $156.6{\;}{\times}{\;}10^6{\;}{\pm}{\;}253.6{\;}{\times}{\;}10^$이었으며, 이 원충에 대한 연령의존성 저항은 인정 할 수 없었다 한편, 감염 후 44일째 난포낭 배설 극기에 희생시킨 재래산양의 제4위 점액세포의 미세융모 내에서 이 원충의 모든 단계의 발육기를 관찰할 수 있었다. 모든 발육기에서 바깥쪽이 숙주세포의 두터운 사상돌기로 둘러싸여 있는 쥐와포자충 특유의 전단 돌출부를 볼 수 있었다. 또, 이 원충의 재래산양/마우스 모델 감염실험에서 마우스 고유의 난포낭 배설 양상이 인정되었다. 이 원충의 면역원성과 난포낭의 재생산이 도전감염실험과 면역억제에 의하여 증명되었다. 이상의 실험 결과로 반추수에 있어서 쥐와포자충의 내생발육을 입증하였다.

  • The present study was undertaken to know the infection status of Cryptosporidium parvum among the residents of Chorwon-gun, Kangwon-do in 1993. Total 461 fecal samples were collected from the inhabitants residing in Chorwon-gun during the period of August 12 to September 14, 1993. Fecal smears were prepared by formalin-ether sedimentation, and examined after modified acid fast staining. Of the 461 fecal samples,9 (1.9%) were positive for C. parvum oocysts. The positive cases were limited to thirties (4) patients, forties (3), and sixties (2) , and no oocyst was detected in other age groups. The oocyst positive rate for male was 1.4% and that of female was 2.6%.

  • Cryptosporidium parvum has been recognized as a significant cause of life-threatening diarrhea in Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients. Clinical diagnosis of cryptosporidial infections has been primarily based on the detection of infective stage, oocysts, in stools. Anti-Cryptosporidium oocyst monoclonal antibody (mAb), IgG2a, recognizing an antigen of 97 kDa was generated to be used for diagnosis of Cryptosporidium infection in AIDS patients using an immunofluorecence. It appeared to react with the surface antigens. Transmission electron micrographs of the infective stage of Cryptosporidium recognized by this mAb demonstrated sporolulated oocysts, which measure $4~6{\mu}m$, and sporozoites excysting from oocysts.
