Multi-locus analysis of human infective Cryptosporidium species and subtypes using ten novel genetic loci
9 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite that causes diarrheal illness in a wide range of hosts including humans. Two species, C. parvum and C. hominis are of primary public health relevance. Genome sequences of these two species are available and show only 3-5% sequence divergence. We investigated this sequence variability, which could correspond either to sequence gaps in the published genome...
