Cryptosporidium spp. and cryptosporidiosis
Open accessAbstract
Cryptosporidium spp. are apicomplexan parasites that inhabit the brush borders of the gastrointestinal and respiratory epithelium. Initially thought to be only a pathogen of young animals such as calves and lambs, cryptosporidiosis is now known as an important cause of diarrhea, enterocolitis, and cholangiopathy in humans (Checkley et al. 2015). Healthy children and adults and young animals with cryptosporidiosis usually have a short-term illness accompanied by watery diarrhea, malabsorption, and weight loss. In humans and animals with immunodeficiencies and snakes, however, the infection can be protracted and life-threatening (Chalmers and Davies 2010).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
