The NIAID, DAIDS, has a requirement to quantitatively evaluate

therapeutic agents for efficacy against Cryptosporidium parvum

infection in a standardized, validated immunocompromised mouse model

test system.  In vivo studies will include evaluation of therapies in

combination in the primary mouse model; evaluation of therapies in a

validated, standardized animal model for hepatobiliary disease; and

evaluation of therapies using alternative strains of Cryptosporidium.

Therapeutic agents will be evaluated for efficacy in a standardized,

reproducible, and validated in vitro test system using intact

organisms.  The offeror should have available a primary mouse model

of Cryptosporidium infection and an in vitro system (including

relevant Cryptosporidium isolates) suitable for the evaluation of

therapies with potential for treatment of Cryptosporidium infections

in people with AIDS.

 

It is anticipated that one cost reimbursement, level-of-effort type

contract will be awarded for a period of five years beginning on or

about July 23, 1997.  It is estimated that 1,675% total effort will

be needed for this acquisition during the five-year period.
