Molecular and Biological Characterization of a <i>Cryptosporidium molnari</i> -Like Isolate from a Guppy ( <i>Poecilia reticulata</i> )

Abstract excerpt

Histological, morphological, genetic, and phylogenetic analyses of a Cryptosporidium molnari-like isolate from a guppy (Poecilia reticulata) identified stages consistent with those of C. molnari and revealed that C. molnari is genetically very distinct from all other species of Cryptosporidium. This study represents the first genetic characterization of C. molnari.
