Patients with poorly controlled human immunodeficiency virus are subject to a wide range of opportunistic infections. is a parasitic gastrointestinal infection associated with chronic and life-threatening diarrhea in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Cytomegalovirus colitis is a serious complication caused by reactivation of the virus, leading to viremia and end-organ disease by hematogenous spread. Both diseases can be fatal in less than 4 months. We present an example of a comprehensive investigation in a patient with symptoms that could not be explained in a single diagnosis.

The anthroponotic Cryptosporidium hominis differs from the zoonotic C. parvum in its lack of infectivity to animals, but several divergent subtypes have recently been found in nonhuman primates and equines. Here, we sequence 17 animal C.

Background: Human intestinal parasitosis and microsporidiosis are a global health concern, mostly in endemic areas but should not be neglected elsewhere. Recent nationwide epidemiological data are scarce, especially from primary health care and developed countries. Diagnosis by molecular tools are increasing and several commercial gastrointestinal panel assays including protozoans and/or helminths are now available.

There is a paucity of information on the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical correlates of people living with HIV (PLWH) who are co-infected with spp. in the post-combined antiretroviral therapy era in Ghana. To provide such data, in this observational study, stool samples of 640 HIV-positive and 83 HIV-negative individuals in Ghana were screened for spp.

Article Synopsis
- Diarrhea caused by zoonotic pathogens is a major health concern for dairy calves and poses risks to humans, especially children.
- A study conducted on 343 fecal samples from calves in China found a 91% positive rate for various pathogens, with *Clostridium perfringens* being the most prevalent at 61.5%.
- Coinfections were common, with 67.3% of samples containing two to five different pathogens, and the research identified significant variations in pathogenic presence related to farm, age, and season.
