Abstract excerpt
A mutation scanning-selective sequencing approach was employed for the genotypic identification and differentiation of Cryptosporidium parvum isolates. Genomic DNA samples (n=158) from Cryptosporidium oocysts from humans with clinical cryptosporidiosis (following recent foreign travel or during different outbreaks) in the UK were subjected to PCR-based single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of a...
