Abstract excerpt
The theory about the Cryptosporidium life cycle predicts genetic diversity of sporozoites within the host. Nevertheless, the Cryptosporidium intra-host genetic diversity is difficult to study using conventional Sanger sequencing or electrophoretic resolution of amplicons, due to the methods' inability to resolve mixtures of templates. We analysed the within-isolate genetic diversity of two Cryptosporidium parvum...
