“…Although usually self-limiting in immunocompetent hosts, cryptosporidiosis can become chronic, persisting for 2 years or more [ 5 , 17 ]. In neonatal livestock, cryptosporidiosis can cause profuse diarrhoea, weight loss and death [ 11 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], resulting in significant production losses [ 22 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. The only US Food and Drug Administration approved drug, nitazoxanide, is ineffective in the most affected populations (children and immunocompromised individuals) and there is no FDA-approved vaccine [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”

“…Contact with animals has been identified as a risk factor in many studies [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]; therefore, zoonotic transmission plays a major role in the epidemiology of cryptosporidiosis [ 1 , 23 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. In order to track transmission, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) tools have been developed, including analysis of the highly polymorphic glycoprotein 60 ( gp60 ) gene, the most commonly used locus [ 31 ].…”

“…This study evaluated the suitability of three commercially available Whatman ® Filter Cards (the FTA ® Classic Card, the FTA ® Elute Micro Card, and the 903 Protein Saver Card) for the long-term storage of faecal material containing G. duodenalis cysts and C. hominis oocysts, two of the major contributors to the global burden of diarrhoeal illness both in humans [ 19 , 20 ] and livestock [ 21 , 22 ] globally. Of note, both protozoan parasites present aggregated distributions depending on the host species, genetic variants, or even geographical area considered [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. Because both G. duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp.…”

“…are common findings in the faecal material of human and animal hosts, some of their species/genotypes have zoonotic potential, and are ubiquitous in the environment, research on the epidemiology and transmission of these pathogens should be always conducted under the One Health umbrella. This approach is particularly useful in those epidemiological scenarios where different epidemiological (e.g., domestic and sylvatic) cycles of the parasites overlap, allowing the occurrence of spillover events [ 33 , 34 , 36 ]. The three major contributions of this survey include the demonstration that (i) the three compared Whatman © cards performed near equally well in maintaining the stability of the faecal material for up to six months irrespectively of the storage temperature; (ii) the parasitic DNA extracted from impregnated Whatman ® cards was suitable for subsequent molecular detection and genotyping purposes; and (iii) Whatman ® cards represent simple, time- and cost-effective options for the safe storage and transportation of faecal samples of human and animal origin without the need of the cold chain.…”

“…Therefore, the transmission of waterborne pathogens (e.g., by Cryptosporidium spp.) is reviewed for small ruminants (Guo et al 2021 ). These reviews are well supplemented by an assessment of the analysis of wastewater to monitor the emergence and spread of infectious diseases at a population level (Zahedi et al 2021 ).…”
