Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst DNA samples (n = 184) from humans with cryptosporidiosis contracted during foreign travel or during outbreaks in the United Kingdom were characterized genetically and categorized by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP)-based analysis of the small-subunit gene (pSSU) (approximately 300 bp) and second internal transcribed spacer (pITS-2) (approximately 230 bp) of nuclear...
