Cryptosporidium: parasite and disease [electronic resource] / edited by Simone M. Cacciò, Giovanni Widmer. - XI, 564 p. 48 illus., 15 illus. in color. online resource.

Section 1: Taxonomy and epidemiology of Cryptosporidium -- Taxonomy and molecular taxonomy -- Epidemiology of human cryptosporidiosis -- Molecular epidemiology of human cryptosporidiosis -- Cryptosporidiosis in farmed animals -- Cryptosporidiosis in other vertebrates -- Section 2: Molecular Biology -- Cryptosporidium: current state of genomics and systems biological research -- From Genome to Proteome: transcriptional and proteomic analysis of Cryptosporidium parasites -- Cryptosporidium metabolism -- Section 3: Host-parasite interaction -- Human Cryptosporidiosis: A Clinical Perspective -- Immunology of Cryptosporidiosis -- Treatment of cryptosporidiosis -- Section 4: Cryptosporidium and the water -- Cryptosporidium Oocysts in Drinking Water and Recreational Water -- Removal and inactivation of Cryptosporidium from water.

This new volume on Cryptosporidium and Cryptosporidiosis discusses all relevant aspects of the biology, molecular biology, host-parasite interaction, epidemiology as well as diagnosis and treatment of these widespread parasites. It represents a useful guide for physicians, microbiologists, veterinarians and water professionals seeking advanced knowledge and guidance about these important parasitic pathogens. A section on practical lab procedures discusses step-by-step guidelines for sample preparation and lab procedures. The new book may further serve as a reference work for graduate students in medical and veterinary microbiology.
