Cryptosporidium is an emerging single-cell zoonotic pathogen. By invading human and animal small intestinal epithelial cells, the host produces a variety of clinical symptoms, mainly diarrhea. Spores of Cryptosporidium can be transmitted through water-borne, food-borne, and mutual transmission between hosts, which has important public health significance. Studies have shown that non-human primates can be infected with multiple Cryptosporidium genotypes. Moreover, this species has a high genetic similarity with humans, so it needs to be taken seriously. This article reviews the infection rates, genotypes, and zoonotic risk of Cryptosporidium in non-human primates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
