Subtype analysis of <i>Cryptosporidium parvum</i> isolates from calves on farms around Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro, using the 60 kDa glycoprotein gene sequences
1 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium parvum is composed of multiple subtypes, which appear to be zoonotic or anthroponotic. Therefore, in order to understand the molecular epidemiology of this species and to control the zoonotic transmission, it is essential to identify the isolates at the subtype level. In the present study, 60.2% of 103 examined dairy calves from 10 farms in the Belgrade area were positive for Cryptosporidium...
