Cryptosporidium hominis : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cryptosporidium hominis
''Cryptosporidium hominis'', along with ''Cryptosporidium parvum'', is among the medically important ''Cryptosporidium'' species.〔 〕 It is an obligate parasite of humans that can colonize the gastrointestinal tract resulting in the gastroenteritis and diarrhea characteristic of cryptosporidiosis. Unlike ''C. parvum'', which has a rather broad host range, ''C. hominis'' is almost exclusively a parasite of humans. As a result, ''C. hominis'' has a low zoonotic potential compared to ''C. parvum''. It is spread through the fecal-oral route usually by drinking water contaminated with oocyst laden feces. ==Characteristics== ''C. hominis'' shares many similar characteristics with ''C. parvum'' including identical oocyst morphology and life-cycle. As a result, ''C. hominis'' is most easily differentiated from ''C. parvum'' through genetic analysis at specific loci. In The Netherlands, ''C. hominis'' is responsible for an autumnal spike in cases of cryptosporidiosis, though reasons for this spike remain unclear.
