Modification of a rapid method for the identification of gene-specific polymorphisms in Cryptosporidium parvum and its application to clinical and epidemiological investigations.

Abstract excerpt

The application of genotyping to clinical isolates of Cryptosporidium has increased significantly our knowledge and understanding of the distribution and epidemiology of this parasite. However, some methods can be laborious and demand specialist technical expertise. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) techniques represent a more rapid and simple method of genotyping to support epidemiological and...
