Abstract excerpt
In this study, we compared and validated a nested ABC polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay to amplify Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst wall protein (COWP) gene fragment with a previous nested PCR-RFLP method. When RFLP of COWP gene did not provide clear results, we further analysed samples by cloning and sequencing for species and genotype identification. ABC-PCR was...
