Recent reports highlighting the global significance of cryptosporidiosis among children have renewed efforts to develop control measures. We evaluated the efficacy of bumped kinase inhibitor (BKI) 1369 in the gnotobiotic piglet model of acute diarrhea caused by , the species responsible for most human cases. Five-day treatment with BKI 1369 reduced signs of disease early during treatment compared to those of untreated animals. Piglets treated with BKI 1369 exhibited significant reductions of oocyst excretion, mucosal colonization by , and mucosal lesions, which resulted in considerable symptomatic improvement. BKI 1369 reduced the parasite burden and disease severity in the gnotobiotic pig model. Together these data suggest that a BKI-mediated therapeutic may be an effective treatment against cryptosporidiosis.
最近的报告强调了隐孢子虫病在儿童中的全球意义,这促使人们再次努力制定控制措施。我们评估了 bumped kinase 抑制剂(BKI)1369 在由导致大多数人类病例的物种引起的急性腹泻的无菌仔猪模型中的疗效。与未治疗的动物相比,BKI 1369 的 5 天治疗在治疗早期减轻了疾病症状。用 BKI 1369 治疗的仔猪的卵囊排泄、 和粘膜定植以及粘膜损伤显著减少,这导致症状有了相当大的改善。BKI 1369 减少了无菌猪模型中的寄生虫负担和疾病严重程度。这些数据表明,BKI 介导的治疗可能是一种有效的隐孢子虫病治疗方法。
