Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium parvum is a protozoan parasite responsible for a number of water-borne outbreaks of human gastrointestinal infection. The importance of this parasite for human health has led to several investigations into its epidemiology. In the present study, sequence and PCR-RFLP analyses were performed on cloned SSU rRNA genes from human and bovine C. parvum isolates. Each cloned gene was assigned a genotype...
