DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Karine Sonzogni-Desautels\, Institute of Pa
 rasitology.\n\nBovine cryptosporidiosis caused by Cryptosporidium parvum i
 s frequent and ubiquitous in dairy farms worldwide. C. parvum-related seve
 re diarrhea and mortality in newborn dairy calves account for serious impa
 irment of health and important economic losses. No vaccine is available to
  prevent oocyst shedding in field conditions and no treatment is available
  to cure the infection in calves. Catchment contamination with oocysts is 
 a concern because C. parvum is a zoonotic pathogen. Large waterborne outbr
 eaks of cryptosporidiosis have been reported worldwide due to contaminatio
 n of drinking and recreational water. Also\, people in contact with infect
 ed calves such as farmers and veterinary students are particularly at risk
  of infection. Human cryptosporidiosis caused by C. hominis or C. parvum i
 s life-threatening in young children in developing countries particularly 
 in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia\; it is the second most frequent caus
 e of moderate-to-severe diarrhea in infants and the third most frequent ca
 use in toddlers in these countries. No vaccine is available to prevent hum
 an infection and therapeutic drugs are of limited value in the target popu
 lation. The ultimate goal of this project was to develop a vaccine that co
 uld be used to immunize pregnant cows to passively transfer immunity to ne
 wborn dairy calves in colostrum.\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community is we
 lcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the acco
 mplishments of our PhD candidates.\n
