Abstract excerpt
This study explored the genetic make-up of Cryptosporidium in fecal samples from 268 individual calves on pasture-based dairy farms in three regions of Victoria, Australia. An integrated approach, using PCR-coupled single-strand conformation polymorphism, targeted sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, was employed to classify the genetic variants (i.e. genotypes and subgenotypes) of Cryptosporidium parvum present...
