Description
CHITIN OR DERIVATIVES THEREOF FOR THE PREVENTION AND/OR TREATMENT OF PARASITOSES TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of the prevention and/or treatment of parasitoses, in particular cryptosporidiosis, in humans and animals.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND Cryptosporidiosis is a disease associated with a protozoan, Cryptosporidium, which has very significant negative economic consequences in livestock, because of the increase in mortality and the delays in growth, the cost of the veterinary care and the treatments that it creates, and also the increase in working time for managing the sick animals.
Cryptosporidiosis also affects humans and can have dramatic consequences in immunodepressed patients, in particular in patients suffering from HIV, and also newborns.
The principal clinical sign associated with cryptosporidiosis is acute diarrhea. The other clinical signs associated with diarrhea are in particular dehydration, intense weakness, a loss of appetite and colic. These various clinical signs can lead to death, in particular of young animals.
Halofuginone is the only medicament which has a marketing authorization in France for the prevention and/or treatment of cryptosporidiosis in calves.
However, not only is the efficacy of halofuginone partial, but it exhibits a certain toxicity, and a risk of cryptosporidia developing resistance to this compound has been reported (see Silverlas et al., Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2009, 91: 73-84).
Moreover, no medicament is registered for the treatment of cryptosporidiosis in kids and lambs.
In humans, nitazoxanide and paromomycin have been used in the treatment of cryptosporidiosis. However, to date, these molecules have marketing authorizations only in certain countries. For example, they do not have a marketing authorization in France.
Thus, no solution exists that is actually satisfactory for the prevention and/or treatment of cryptosporidiosis.
Chitin and chitosan are biocompatible, biodegradable, nontoxic compounds characterized by a strong negative charge. Chitin and chitosan are used in numerous very varied applications, ranging from food-processing to water treatment, and including analytical techniques, the cosmetics industry and the medical field (see Shahidi et al., Trends in Food Science & Technology, 1999, 10: 37-51).
By virtue of their antibacterial and antifungal properties, chitin and chitosan are in particular used as a preservative and in the manufacture of protective food films.
In the medical field, chitosan is, for example, used as an adjuvant in vaccines, a hemostatic agent, an anticoagulant, an antithrombogenic agent, a matrix for producing tissues (skin, bone, cartilage, liver, nerves, blood vessels), an agent for accelerating the healing of and for treating burns, a support for the transport, immobilization and encapsulation of molecules, such as for the controlled release of medicaments.
For example, Alvarez et al. (European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2012, 47: 215- 227) have tested, in vitro, the effect of microspheres based on chitosan and on polyvinyl alcohol which contain, as medicament, a complex of diloxanide furoate and cyclodextrins, on the infection of intestinal cells by C. parvum. The authors indicate that the adhesion of the microspheres to the intestinal cells in vitro could make it possible to inhibit the attachment of C. parvum to intestinal cells and serve as a medicament release system. However, the capacity of these microspheres to adhere to intestinal cells after administration in vivo is not demonstrated.
Thus, there is a real need for alternative solutions for preventing and/or treating parasitoses, and in particular cryptosporidiosis. Preferably, these alternative solutions have few or no toxic effects, are based on compounds of natural origin, the innocuousness of which in humans and/or animals is known, and are simple to prepare and use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Generally, the present invention is based on the demonstration that, entirely originally, chitin or chitin derivatives used as sole active ingredient are effective in preventing and/or treating parasitoses.
In a first aspect, the present invention provides use of a composition comprising: - at least one base agent which is chitosan, and - an agent for stimulating immunity which is a mixture of yeast hulls, yeast extract, selenium and a bacterium of the Bacillus genus, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a cryptosporidiosis.
AH26(26565305_1):RTK The term "parasitosis" is intended to mean herein a disease associated with a protozoan, for example Cryptosporidium in the case of cryptosporidiosis.
A subject of the present invention is particularly chitin or chitin derivatives used as sole active ingredient in the prevention and/or treatment of cryptosporidiosis.
The invention also relates to original compositions combining chitin and/or a chitin derivative as active ingredient with one or more other compounds of natural origin, for treating and/or preventing parasitoses, and in particular cryptosporidiosis.
These original compositions according to the invention make it possible in particular to reduce mortality in young animals and/or diarrhea.
Furthermore, these compositions have the advantage of containing only compounds of natural origin, the innocuousness of which in humans and/or animals is known at the doses recommended for use.
These original compositions thus have few or no toxic effects.
The process for preparing these compositions is simple to carry out, requiring only simple mixing of the various compounds.
These original compositions also have the advantage of being able to be integrated into food compositions, whether they are solid or liquid.
The invention thus also relates to a composition comprising: - at least one base agent chosen from chitin or a chitin derivative, and - an agent for stimulating immunity and/or an antiparasitic agent, as secondary agents.
The chitin derivative is preferably chosen from chitosan, N-acetylglucosamine or glucosamine.
Preferred base agents are chitosan and N-acetylglucosamine.
The agent for stimulating immunity is preferably chosen from yeast hulls, a yeast extract, selenium, a microorganism, or combinations thereof.
The antiparasitic agent is chosen from an essential oil, active carbon, lauric acid, or combinations thereof.
A preferred antiparasitic agent comprises an essential oil.
Said composition may be a food composition, a food supplement or a pharmaceutical composition.
AH26(26565305_1):RTK Another aspect of the invention relates to a composition as defined above, for use as a medicament.
The invention also relates to chitin, a chitin derivative or a composition as defined above, for use as a medicament in the prevention and/or treatment of a parasitosis, preferably cryptosporidiosis, in particular in humans or animals.
A more detailed description of certain preferred embodiments of the invention is given below. (24594286_1):GCC DETAILED DESCRIPTION As previously indicated, the invention relates to compositions based on chitin and/or chitin derivatives used as an active ingredient and referred to herein as base agents.
These compositions may also comprise other compounds, preferably compounds of natural origin, referred to herein as secondary agents.
The secondary agents are chosen from an agent for stimulating immunity and an antiparasitic agent.
A subject of the present invention is thus a composition comprising: - at least one base agent chosen from chitin or a chitin derivative, and - an agent for stimulating immunity and/or an antiparasitic agent.
Chitin is a component that can be found, for example, in the exoskeleton of arthropods, the endoskeleton of cephalopods and the wall of fungi.
Chitin is a linear polysaccharide composed mainly of N-acetylglucosamine monomers linked to one another by β(1-4) linkages.
Chitin is generally obtained by means of a process comprising steps of deproteination and optionally demineralization of the cuticle or shell of crustacea, generally followed by a decoloration step.
The deproteination step is generally a basic treatment step (for example with sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate or sodium phosphate).
The demineralization step is generally an acidic treatment step (for example with hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid or formic acid).
The decoloration step is for example carried out by treatment with an oxidizing agent.
Chitin has a degree of acetylation (DA) greater than 50%.
The degree of acetylation is the average number of N-acetylglucosamine units for 100 monomers.
It is also possible to use the degree of deacetylation (DDA) which is equal to 100 – DA (as a percentage).
The term "chitin derivative" is intended to mean any compound which can be obtained from chitin, in particular by means of one or more hydrolysis, deacetylation, carboxymethylation, succinylation or acidification steps.
An example of a chitin derivative is chitosan.
Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide composed of glucosamine monomers and N-acetyl- glucosamine monomers which are randomly distributed and linked to one another by β(1-4) linkages.
Chitosan has a degree of acetylation (DA) of less than 50%.
The chitosan used in the compositions according to the invention preferably has a degree of acetylation of less than 40%, more preferentially less than 30%, even more preferentially less than 20%, for example less than or equal to 10%.
The chitosan can be obtained by chemical deacetylation (for example by treatment in a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution), thermochemical deacetylation or enzymatic deacetylation of chitin.
The chitosan thus obtained is generally insoluble in acidic aqueous solutions (in particular at a pH below 6).
It is possible to use methods well known to those skilled in the art to render the chitosan soluble in acidic aqueous solutions (in particular at a pH below 6).
For example, soluble chitosan can be obtained by treatment with hydrochloric acid.
A composition according to the invention may comprise soluble chitosan and/or insoluble chitosan.
In the context of the present invention, the insoluble or soluble nature of the chitosan is therefore determined by measuring its solubility in an acidic aqueous solution, in particular at a pH below 6.

EXAMPLE 1: INHIBITION OF C. PARVUM IN VITRO MULTIPLICATION Experiments carried out in collaboration with the "parasites transmis par les aliments" ["food- transmitted parasites"] team of the Unité Mixte de Recherche [Mixed Research Unit] Biologie moléculaire et Immunologie Parasitaire et fongique (BIPAR) [Molecular biology and parasitic and fungal immunology], at the Alfort Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire [National Veterinary School].
Materials and methods (i) Cell lines Two cell models were tested: HCT-8 cells (human ileocecal adenocarcinoma cells) and Caco-2 cells (human colonic adenocarcinoma cells). (ii) Compounds tested: chitosan, NAG, paromomycin The soluble chitosan is chitosan hydrochloride with a degree of deacetylation greater than or equal to 90% and a degree of viscosity of 5.5 mPas (dynamic viscosity measured at 20°C in a 0.5% distilled water solution) (Kraeber & Co GMBH, Germany).
The NAG (N-acetylglucosamine) comes from Kraeber & Co GMBH, Germany.
The paromomycin (paromomycin sulfate 100%, Antibioticos SPA, Italy) is an antimicrobial medicament used in the treatment of cryptosporidiosis which makes it possible to reduce oocyst excretion. (iii) C. parvum The Iowa Cryptosporidium parvum strain (Waterborne inc., New Orleans, LA, USA) is used for the tests. (iv) Cell infection The infection is carried out on cells at 70%-80% confluence, cultured in a monolayer on collagen-coated coverslips in 24-well plates.
The supernatant of the cells in a monolayer is replaced with 3 ml of culture medium to which 1 10 C. parvum oocysts are added. After incubation for 3 hours in a humid incubator at 37°C and 5% CO , the supernatant is replaced with 3 ml of culture medium and incubated for 48 h in a humid incubator at 37°C, 5% CO and 80% humidity. (v) Preincubation test In each well of a plate, 1 10 oocysts are brought into contact with 500 µg/ml of paromomycin, chitosan or NAG.
The plates are incubated for 24h in a humid incubator at 37°C and 5% CO .
The cells are then infected as indicated above. (vi) Direct test The culture medium of the infected cells is replaced with 1 ml of culture medium to which the test compound is then added, at a final concentration of 500 µg/ml.
The plates are incubated for 48h in a humid incubator at 37°C and 5% CO (vii) Staining and counting of the intracellular oocysts The intracellular oocysts are stained after fixing the cells with methanol. The labeling is carried out using a specific conjugated polyclonal antibody (Sporo-Glo 20X Waterborne inc., New Orleans, LA, USA). The coverslips are then mounted on slides. The intracellular oocysts are counted with a fluorescence microscope.
On each slide, 6 50 fields randomly chosen over the entire surface area of the slide are counted. (viii) Statistical analysis The results obtained are a triplicate mean. The data are analyzed by ANOVA. A p-value of less than or equal to 0.05 is considered to be significant.
Results (i) Cytotoxicity Preliminary tests made it possible to determine the optimum doses tolerated by the HCT-8 and Caco-2 cells and led to the dose of 500 µg/ml being chosen for testing each of the compounds. (ii) Effect of the preincubation of the tested compounds with the C. parvum oocysts before infection The tested compounds are incubated for 24h with C. parvum oocysts before the in vitro infection at a dose of 500 µg/ml.
The results obtained are given in table 1 for the HCT-8 cells and table 2 for the Caco-2 cells.
The paramomycin is capable of significantly inhibiting the development of the parasite both on the HCT-8 cells and on the Caco-2 cells (p<0.001): paromomycin reduces the parasite development by 99.5% on the HCT-8 cells and by 97.1% on the Caco-2 cells.
The same is true for chitosan and NAG.
The soluble chitosan reduces the parasite development respectively by 95.7% on the HCT-8 cells and by 97.6% on the Caco-2 cells (p<0.001).
The NAG reduces the parasite development respectively by 99.0% on the HCT-8 cells and by 97.4% on the Caco-2 cells (p<0.001).

Thus, NAG and chitosan are more effective than paromomycin on the HCT-8 cells, and chitosan is more effective on the Caco-2 cells.

PARVUM ADHESION OR REPLICATION IN ENTEROCYTES IN VITRO Materials and methods (i) Cell lines tested and oocysts The C. parvum oocysts used were isolated from feces (stools) of calves that had been experimentally infected (by INRA [French National Institute for Agricultural Research] of Tours).
The tests are carried out on cells of the CMT-93 murine line (mycoplasma-free) cultured in complete medium comprising 10% of FCS (Fetal Calf Serum). (ii) Compounds tested The insoluble chitosan is poly-(N-deacetyl-D-glucosamine) with a dry matter content of 6.43% and a degree of deacetylation of 95.5% (Federal Laboratories Chemical Corp, NY, USA).
The soluble chitosan is chitosan hydrochloride with a degree of deacetylation greater than or equal to 90% and a degree of viscosity of 5.5 mPas (dynamic viscosity measured at 20°C in a 0.5% distilled water solution) (Kraeber & Co GMBH, Germany).
The NAG (N-acetylglucosamine) comes from Kraeber & Co GMBH, Germany.
The following are also tested: - yeast hulls (Safmannan, Lesaffre), - a selenium-enriched yeast (Selsaf, Lesaffre), - active carbon, - garlic essential oil, - a mixture of essential oils (comprising 6% of garlic essential oil, 10% to 13% of citronella essential oil, 59% to 72% of cinnamon essential oil, and 23% to 32% of thyme essential oil), - a live Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (Actisaf, Lesaffre).
Interferon-γ at 10 ng/ml is used as a positive control. This is because partial inhibition of C. parvum multiplication in enterocytes under the action of this cytokine has been described. (iii) Test of the effect of the compounds on C. parvum development The cells of the CMT-93 line are seeded in a proportion of 3.6 10 cells per well.
The test compounds are added after 8 h. After incubation for 16h, an infection is then carried out with C. parvum oocysts (ratio of 5 oocysts/cell) in the presence of the compounds tested, at the selected doses which do not affect cell viability by more than 15%.
After 24h, the cells are lysed with trypsin and labeled with a fluorescent lectin (VVL-FITC), in order to be able to find the infected cells with a fluorescence microscope. The number of infected cells is found manually. This technique is more laborious, but proved to be more accurate than counting the parasite-infected cells by cytometry.
Results The soluble chitosan and the NAG tested at 18 µg/ml reduce parasite multiplication by 31% and 43%, respectively, in the cells of the CMT-93 line compared with the nontreated control.
These reductions are similar to that observed for the positive control, interferon-γ.
The insoluble chitosan tested at 18 µg/ml enables a smaller reduction of parasite multiplication, with approximately 40% of infected cells compared with 50% of infected cells for the nontreated control.
The active carbon at the dose of 18 µg/ml reduces parasite multiplication by 36% compared with the nontreated control. At this dose, the effect of the carbon remains similar to interferon-γ.
The mixture of essential oils (comprising 6% of garlic essential oil, 10% to 13% of citronella essential oil, 59% to 72% of cinnamon essential oil, and 23% to 32% of thyme essential oil) at the dose of 3.3 µg/ml or 30 µg/ml also enables a 30% reduction of parasite multiplication compared with the nontreated control, and similar to that observed for interferon-γ.
No effect is observed with the other compounds at the doses tested on parasite multiplication.
EXAMPLE 3: IMMUNE RESPONSE OF EPITHELIAL CELLS AND OF DENDRITIC CELLS (i) Cell lines tested and oocysts The C. parvum oocysts used were isolated from feces (stools) of calves that had been experimentally infected (by INRA [French National Institute for Agricultural Research] of Tours).
The tests are carried out on cells of the CMT-93 murine line (mycoplasma-free) cultured in complete medium comprising 10% of FCS (Fetal Calf Serum) or on dendritic cells derived from bone marrow (immature) in the presence of GM-CSF (Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor) added regularly to the culture for 9 days. (ii) Compounds tested The products tested on the epithelial cells are: - NAG (N-acetylglucosamine) (Kraeber & Co GMBH, Germany). - yeast hulls (Safmannan, Lesaffre), - a live Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (Actisaf, Lesaffre), - an inactivated Lactobacillus johnsonii strain.
The products tested on the dendritic cells are: - yeast hulls (Safmannan, Lesaffre), - a live Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (Actisaf, Lesaffre), - a Bacillus subtilis strain, - a live Lactobacillus johnsonii strain, - an inactivated Lactobacillus johnsonii strain, - an E. coli strain. (iii) Epithelial and dendritic cell immune response test - Epithelial cells Chemokine production by the epithelium or other intestinal cells is important for the recruitment of the inflammatory cells required for protection against cryptosporidiosis in newborns. Chemokine production by epithelial cells is measured by quantitative RT-PCR (quantification by incorporation of Sybr green) after incubation of CMT-93 cells with the various compounds for 24h.
- Dendritic cells The tests are carried out on dendritic cells derived from bone marrow (immature) in the presence of GM-CSF (Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor) added regularly to the culture for 9 days.
The production of the cytokine IL-12p40 is measured by ELISA 24h after addition of the products of various dilutions. An antibiotic is added 4h after the inoculation of the live products.
Results For the epithelial cells, chemokines (CXCL2, CCL3, CCL20, CXCL10, CCL2) capable of attracting mononuclear phagocytes are produced by the epithelial cells in vitro in response to the compounds tested, but in a lesser amount than with the parasite infection. The NAG product is often found to be the most effective for CXCL10 and CCL20, then the yeast hulls, and the live yeast (Actisaf) for CCL3.
For the dendritic cells, the yeast hulls, the Bacillus subtilis strain, the lactobacilli, E. coli, and the live yeast all induce very strong IL-12p40 productions.
This experiment was reproduced on macrophages differentiated in vitro (in the presence of M-CSF for 6 days) and a very strong response is obtained for the lactobacilli and also the live yeast.

The yeast hulls are the product Safmannan (Lesaffre).
The yeast extract is the product EXL2020 (Biospringer).
The selenium-enriched yeast is the product Selsaf (Lesaffre).
The live yeast corresponds to the strain deposited on December 2, 2010 at the Collection Nationale de Cultures de Microorganismes [National Collection of Microorganism Cultures] (CNCM, Institut Pasteur, 25 Rue du Docteur Roux, F-75724 PARIS Cedex 15) under number I-4407 (Actisaf, Lesaffre, at 9 10 CFU/g).
The mixture of essential oils comprises 6% of garlic essential oil, 10% to 13% of citronella essential oil, 59% to 72% of cinnamon essential oil and 23% to 32% of thyme essential oil.
The NAG comes from Kraeber & Co GMBH, Germany.
The soluble chitosan is chitosan hydrochloride with a degree of deacetylation greater than or equal to 90% and a degree of viscosity of 5.5 mPas (dynamic viscosity measured at 20°C in a 0.5% distilled water solution) (Kraeber & Co GMBH, Germany).
The insoluble chitosan is a chitosan with a degree of deacetylation greater than 90% (Federalabs, United States).
The compositions A, B, C and D are in powder form. (ii) Trial 1 The kids are divided up into 4 groups of 11 kids 2 to 4 days old: - Group 1: Infected control not receiving treatment - Group 2: 2.5 g of the composition A per kid, twice a day - Group 3: 5 g of the composition A per kid, twice a day - Group 4: 10 g of the composition A per kid, twice a day.
It should be noted that the kids were all treated metaphylactically with marbofloxacin by subcutaneous injection at a dose of 0.1 ml/kg once a day, owing to pneumonia lesions detected in dead kids before the dividing up into the 4 groups. This treatment does not interfere with the clinical trial since marbofloxacin is not effective against cryptosporidiosis.
The kids are experimentally infested orally using a syringe at a dose of 10 Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts (Waterborne Inc, New Orleans, USA) resuspended in water.
The dispensing of the composition A is carried out after suspending in 100 ml of milk (Optiprim whole milk replacer from the Sofivo group). The composition is dissolved extemporaneously, just before dispensing.
The mixture is dispensed individually, with a bottle, in the interests of convenience, each kid receiving 100 ml of mixture.
The treatment is dispensed in the morning and evening for 14 days and the administration began half a day before the experimental infestation. The dispensing of the treatment takes place before the meal in order to guarantee a better intake of the treatment. (iii) Trial 2 The kids are divided up into 4 groups of 11 kids 2 to 4 days old: - Group 1: Infected control not receiving treatment - Group 2: 5 g of the composition B per kid, twice a day - Group 3: 7.5 g of the composition C per kid, twice a day - Group 4: 5 g of the composition D per kid, twice a day.
The kids are experimentally infested orally using a syringe at a dose of 10 Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts (Waterborne Inc, New Orleans, USA) resuspended in water.
The dispensing of the compositions B, C and D is carried out after suspending in 100 ml of milk (Optiprim whole milk replacer from the Sofivo group). The composition is dissolved extemporaneously, just before dispensing.
The mixture is dispensed individually, with a bottle, in the interests of convenience, each kid receiving 100 ml of mixture.
The treatment is dispensed in the morning and evening for 14 days and the administration began half a day before the experimental infestation. The dispensing of the treatment takes place before the meal in order to guarantee a better intake of the treatment. (iv) Measurements and data collection Fecal matter is sampled daily from each kid in order to measure individual excretion by the Heine semi-quantitative method. The samples are taken in the rectum.
An excretion grade is assigned for each kid: - 0 = no oocyst - 1 = less than 1 oocyst - 2 = 1 to 10 oocysts - 3 = 11 to 20 oocysts - 4 = 21 to 30 oocysts - 5 = 31 to 40 oocysts.
A diarrhea grade ranging from 0 to 2 is assigned to each kid: - 0 = no diarrhea, - 1 = pasty diarrhea and - 2 = liquid diarrhea.
The oocyst excretion and also the diarrhea grade reflect the effectiveness of the tested composition on the parasite. A decrease in excretion makes it possible to reduce the infestation pressure, which is generally accompanied by a score approaching zero. They are therefore advantageous from an epidemiological point of view. (v) Statistical analyses The results are analyzed using the Statistica software. Chi , ANOVA, repeated measures ANOVA, Goodman gamma coefficient and Kruskal-Wallis tests are used.
Results (i) Trial 1 Distribution of the groups This trial was carried out with kids of multiple origins, which presents various drawbacks: variable microbism according to origin (pasteurellosis, colibacillosis), kids of different breed (without effect on cryptosporidiosis) and of different build (potential effect on the ability to survive the clinical episode).
Each group comprised 11 kids at the beginning of the experiment.
Validation of the experimental infection The infection was conclusive since virtually 100% of the kids excreted oocysts 4 days after the infection. The kids of the livestock 1 began to excrete oocysts as early as the day after the infection, which attest to an infection in the livestock, prior to their arrival in the animal house. The kids of the control group originating from the livestocks 2 and 3 began to excrete oocysts 3 days after the experimental infection. 100% of the control kids excreted oocysts 4 days after the infection (average age of the kids: 8 days) and for 4 days.
Evolution of the excretion The evolution of the excretion is similar between the control group and the treated groups 2, 3 and 4.
Average diarrhea grade In the control group 1, the average diarrhea score increased starting from the age of 7 days and began to decrease after 15 days in parallel with excretion.
In the groups 3 and 4, a decrease in the average diarrhea score over the maximum period of diarrhea was observed.
The average diarrhea period in the live animals is shorter in the groups 3 and 4 than in the control group 1.
The kids of the group 3 presented signs of diarrhea later than the other groups and at a lower level.
Morbidity The morbidity was calculated as the percentage of kids exhibiting diarrhea (diarrhea scores 1 or 2) relative to the total number of kids present.
In the control group 1, more than 60% of the kids exhibited diarrhea between 8 and 15 days concomitantly with increased oocyst excretion.
The level of morbidity of the group 4 is lower than that in the other groups.
Moreover, the delay in the appearance of diarrhea in the group 3 is longer: while more than 60% of the kids of the groups 2 and 4 exhibit diarrhea from the age of 8 days, this percentage is reached only at the age of 11 days in the group 3.
Mortality 21 kids died "naturally" and 3 were euthanized on compassionate grounds. The age of the dead kids at the time of death was 5 to 17 days. The majority of them exhibited oocyst excretion, diarrhea and microscopic signs at the time of the autopsy which are compatible with cryptosporidiosis. Some of the kids did not die from cryptosporidiosis in this trial.
No major effect of the administration of the compositions could be noted.
Conclusion In this trial, the transportation to and the arrival at the animal house were probably poorly tolerated by the kids already weakened by the circulation in the livestock of pathogenic agents responsible for pulmonary diseases, and 5 kids died before the dividing up into batches. This may explain why the results of the compositions according to the invention are less spectacular than expected.
However, the composition A had a beneficial effect on the diarrhea and the morbidity of the kids compared with those of the nontreated group.
The dose of 5 g per kid administered twice a day gave the best results. (ii) Trial 2 Distribution of the groups This trial 2 was carried out with kids from one and the same origin, which as a result were very homogeneous in terms of age and weight and had no intercurrent pathological conditions. The extreme sensitivity of the kids to the experimental infection confirms the absence of prior infection by cryptosporidia. Each group comprised 11 kids at the beginning of the trial.
Validity of the experimental infection All of the kids of the control group 1 excreted C. parvum oocysts massively from the age of 8 days (average excretion grade: 4.5 on a scale of 0 to 5), that is to say 4 days after the experimental infection. The only surviving kid of the control group 1 excreted oocysts continuously for 8 days.
Evolution of the excretion The evolution of the oocyst excretion was comparable in the groups 2, 3 and 4 receiving respectively the compositions B, C and D.
The highest average of the excretia grades in the groups 2, 3 and 4 was lower than that of the control group.
The average excretion was lower in the group 3 between 8 and 15 days than in the control group 1 and the groups 2 and 4.
Average diarrhea grade Diarrhea appeared earlier in the groups 2, 3 and 4 than in the control group 1, in particular in the group 3 where more than 35% of the kids had diarrhea before 6 days. The episode of diarrhea due to cryptosporidiosis was then similar between the groups 2, 3 and 4 and the control group 1.
It should be noted that the interpretation of the comparison with the control group beyond 13 days was made impossible by the presence of a single surviving kid in the control group.
The percentage of kids with diarrhea was slightly lower in the groups 2, 3 and 4 compared with the control group 1.
The highest average of the diarrhea grades was much lower in the groups 2, 3 and 4 (respectively 1.7, 1.7 and 3.7) compared with the control group (4.5).
The duration of the diarrhea in the live kids was reduced in the groups 2, 3 and 4 compared with the control group.
Between 12 and 18 days of age, the diarrhea grades are significantly (p<0.005) higher in the group 1 than in the group 2; between 16 and 17 days, they are higher in the group 1 than in the group 3; and between 17 and 18 days, they are higher in the group 1 than in the group 4.
Morbidity The morbidity was calculated as the percentage of kids exhibiting diarrhea (diarrhea scores 1 or 2) relative to the total number of kids present. In the control group, more than 80% of the kids exhibited diarrhea between 7 and 12 days of age, concomitantly with increased oocyst excretion.
Mortality 14 kids died "naturally" and 13 were euthanized on compassionate grounds. The mortality peak, all groups included, was observed at the age of 10-11 days, following the episode of diarrhea.
The cumulative mortality in the group 1 was 91%, in the group 2 was 36%, in the group 3 was 64% and in the group 4 was 55%.
The mortality in the group 1 is significantly higher than in the group 2.
If the kid of the group 4 that did not die from cryptosporidiosis is excluded, the mortality is significantly higher in the control group 1 than in the group 4.
The mortality in the group 3 is reduced.
It should be noted that the average age at the time of death is higher in the treated groups (13.5 for the group 2; 11.7 for the group 3; 16.4 for the group 4) than in the control group (10.7).
Conclusion The compositions B, C and D according to the invention made it possible to improve the zootechnical performance levels, to reduce diarrhea and to decrease mortality.
The composition C also made it possible to decrease oocyst excretion.
EXAMPLE 5: TREATMENT OF CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS INDUCED IN YOUNG MICE (i) Compositions tested Yeast hulls (Safmannan, France) (ii) Test of the effect of the compounds on C. parvum development The young mice are inoculated with 5 10 C. parvum oocysts.
The oral administration of 500 µg of yeast hulls, hereinafter also called "walls", is carried out the day before the infection with C. parvum, and also on the day after and 4 days after the infection, by gavage of C57BL/6 young mice 2 to 3 days old.
The oocysts present in the intestinal content, excreted orally, are counted at 6 days post- inoculation.
Number of young mice: Experiment 1: n=7-15 young mice Experiment 2 (n=13 for each batch).
The statistical analysis was carried out by comparing the nontreated batch with each of the batches (nonparametric Mann Whitney test: ** p<0.01).
Results At D6 post-infection, the intestinal parasite load makes it possible to evaluate the level of protection obtained compared with the infected but nontreated animals.
The graph in Figure 1 represents the results of 2 independent experiments. The administration of walls induces a significant decrease (p<0.01) in oocysts in the two experiments.
Interpretation: The administration of yeast hulls enables a significant decrease in oocyst excretion. (24594286_1):GCC WE
