Abstract excerpt
Cattle are among the major reservoirs of Cryptosporidium parvum in nature. However, the relative contribution of C. parvum oocysts originating from cattle to human disease burden is difficult to assess, as various transmission pathways -- including the human to human route -- can co-occur. In this study, multilocus genotype richness of representative samples of human and bovine C. parvum are compared...
