- W2890548737 abstract "Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease caused by species in the genus Cryptosporidium. In young ruminants, Cryptosporidium parvum causes economically significant disease with mild to severe clinical signs and occasional death. The typical clinical course in animals aged 1–3 weeks old is acute diarrhoea. Currently there are no available treatments that are fully effective against cryptosporidiosis in either humans or animals. Therefore there is a critical need for the development of new therapeutic agents. We adapted two in vitro culture systems (HCT-8 and Caco-2 cell lines) for C. parvum infection to investigate the anticryptosporidial activity of two chitosans; Chitosan NAG and Chitosan Mix. Chitosan—a naturally-occurring polysaccharide compound—has been found to be active against a variety of diseases, possessing both antimicrobial and anticancer properties. We investigated both chitosan's toxicity and effects on C. parvum in the two in vitro models. To evaluate chitosan's effects on oocyst shedding in vivo, CD-1 neonate mice were orally inoculated with C. parvum oocysts (Iowa strain), treated with chitosan, and compared to infected non-treated animals. Paromomycin, a classical drug used in veterinary medicine, was used as a reference compound. Immunofluorescence techniques were used to analyse the parasites. Our results showed significant reductions in Cryptosporidium oocyst viability (>95%) after oocyst pre-incubation with either paromomycin (P < 0.001), Chitosan Mix or Chitosan NAG (P < 0.001), for 24 h at 37 °C. Additionally, paromomycin, Chitosan Mix, and Chitosan NAG significantly inhibited C. parvum multiplication in HCT-8 and Caco-2 cell lines (P < 0.005). These effects were dose-dependent. In in vivo studies, treatment with both chitosans (Chitosan NAG, Chitosan Mix) or paromomycin sulfate significantly reduced parasite shedding in infected treated newborn mice (−56%, −34.5% and −58%, respectively). In conclusion, these findings provide the first in vitro and in vivo evidence of the anticryptosporidial activities of this natural polysaccharide." @default.
