Acanthamoeba as a temporal vehicle of Cryptosporidium.

H Gómez-Couso¹, E Paniagua-Crespo, E Ares-Mazás.

Abstract

The capacity of Acanthamoeba to predate Cryptosporidium oocysts was demonstrated. A maximum of six oocysts per Acanthamoeba trophozoite were detected, and a slow elimination of the internalized oocysts to the surrounding culture medium was observed. Free-living amoebae may act as carriers of Cryptosporidium oocysts and, thus, may play an important role in the transmission of cryptosporidiosis.
