Life Cycle of Cryptosporidium Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6261
The Life Cycle of Cryptosporidium Model (SKU JC-BE-6261) is a Cryptosporidium life cycle model covering C. parvum and C. hominis. It shows oocysts containing four sporozoites that are already infective when passed, spread through drinking or recreational water, person-to-person contact, cattle and food, development within the brush border of the small intestine, asexual and sexual reproduction, and thin-walled oocysts that cause autoinfection. Resistance to routine chlorination and diagnosis are included. JaincoLab manufactures it in Ambala, India.
Specifications
The model is a parasitology teaching model of the Cryptosporidium life cycle, covering the infective stage, transmission, site of development, reproductive cycle, environmental resistance and diagnosis; its dimensions, material and base are not in the current product data and are confirmed on the quotation.

Uses of the Cryptosporidium life cycle model
Lecturers use the model to explain why Cryptosporidium causes water-borne outbreaks and why it is a serious threat to immunocompromised patients.
- Showing the sporulated oocyst with four sporozoites
- Explaining water-borne, person-to-person and zoonotic spread
- Showing epicellular development in the brush border
- Comparing thin-walled and thick-walled oocysts
- Introducing acid-fast staining, ELISA and PCR

Frequently asked questions
How does Cryptosporidium differ from Isospora on the model?
Its oocysts are already infective when passed and need no maturation outside the body, whereas Isospora oocysts must sporulate first.
Why is it linked with water-borne outbreaks?
Its oocysts are resistant to routine chlorine disinfection used in municipal water treatment.
