Relationships between patient exposure risks and variation within the Cryptosporidium parvum 60 kDa glycoprotein (GP60) gene were explored in samples isolated from human cases of cryptosporidiosis (n=69) in England and Wales. GP60 family IIa predominated (n=56), followed by IId (n=9). One case was IIc, a newly named genotype IIcA5G3j, and isolates from three cases did not amplify with the GP60 primers. Cases with...
