Genetic Diversity and Zoonotic Potential of<i>Cryptosporidium parvum</i>Causing Foal Diarrhea
29 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium isolates from diarrheic foals in New Zealand (n = 9) were identified as C. parvum, subtyped at two polymorphic loci, and compared with human (n = 45) and bovine (n = 8) isolates. Foal C. parvum isolates were genetically diverse, markedly similar to human and bovine isolates, and carried GP60 IIaA18G3R1 alleles, indicating a zoonotic potential.
