Abstract excerpt
A study was undertaken to compare the performance of five different molecular methods (available in four different laboratories) for the identification of Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis and the detection of genetic variation within each of these species. The same panel of oocyst DNA samples derived from faeces (n=54; coded blindly) was sent for analysis by: (i) DNA sequence analysis of a...
