The first report of animal genotypes of Cryptosporidium parvum in immunosuppressed and immunocompetent humans in Slovakia

Abstract: The aim of our study was to determine species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium in patients suffering from immunosuppressive illnesses, but also in immunocompetent patients suffering from diarrhoea. A total of 80 samples of faeces were collected from both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients. The immunosuppressed patients (65 samples) - 35 adult patients (group A) and 30 children (group B) were hospitalized at the Clinic of Oncohemathology. Samples from immunocompetent humans (15 samples, group C) were… Show more

“…The high prevalence of subtype IIaA15G2R1 in calves and lambs worldwide and its detection in humans suggest that it is easily spread among animal populations and readily transmitted to humans as well. Subtype IIaA11G2R1 has not previously been reported in Turkey; however, it has been reported in humans in Slovenia and Slovakia [47,48].…”

“…hominis isolate was subtyped as the IeA12G3T3 subtype, which is the most rarely identified subtype of this species. So far, it has been recorded only in China from HIV-positive patients [23] and raw wastewater [32]; in Jamaica from HIV-infected persons [33]; in Australia within a waterborne cryptosporidiosis outbreak [34]; in Tasmania among clinical cases of diarrhea [35], and in Slovakia from immunocompetent individual [36].…”

“…This is similar, but not identical, to a C. parvum subtype previously associated with two earlier cryptosporidiosis outbreaks in Norway; IIaA19G1R1 [8, 9], which were due to contact between schoolchildren and infected lambs and kids at a holiday farm. The same subtype has, however, been reported from faecal samples from calves in Poland [10] and Estonia [11], yaks in China [12], and humans in Slovenia [13] and Slovakia [14].…”
