Cryptosporidiosis is a major etiology of persistent and chronic diarrhea in children and immunocompromised patients. In addition, it is also one of the important pathogens causing zoonotic or waterborne outbreaks. A number of conventional and molecular tests are available, but each test is riddled with few limitations. Further, there is a need to develop point of care tests and multiplexed tests for simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens.
隐孢子虫病是儿童和免疫功能低下患者持续性和慢性腹泻的主要病因。此外,它也是引起人畜共患病或水源性疫情爆发的重要病原体之一。目前有多种传统检测方法和分子检测方法,但每种检测方法都存在一些局限性。此外,还需要开发即时检测方法和多重检测方法,以便同时检测多种病原体。
