Disclosed herein are ionic aqueous compositions useful as nasal passage washes to aid in the resorption of edema of the respiratory mucosa, e.g., the nasal mucosa, for the treatment of respiratory tract and/or respiratory mucosal-related conditions, including, e.g., chronic rhinosinusitis, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps. The composition includes an ionic aqueous solution and algae-derived constituents, such as branched, sulfated polysaccharides having an average molecular weight greater than 4 kDa and comprising L-fucose and sulfate ester groups or extracts from brown algae. Also disclosed are methods and pharmaceutical compositions for treating respiratory tract and/or respiratory mucosal-related conditions, including, e.g., chronic rhinosinusitis.

The invention concerns a composition made from at least one sulphated polysaccharide, in particular from an algae, and combined with at least one food ingredient. This composition can be used, in particular, in the field of food or in the treatment or prevention of an infection caused by microsporidia in humans or animals. It has useful properties as an antiparasitic agent in humans or animals; for the treatment or prevention of an infection caused by at least one microsporidia in humans or animals; in particular for the treatment or prevention of an infection caused in bees by the microsporidia Nosema, preferably Nosema ceranae or Nosema apis, or indeed for stimulating the immune defences of bees.
