Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium meleagridis is a common cause of cryptosporidiosis in avian hosts and the third most common species involved in human cryptosporidiosis. Sequencing of the highly polymorphic 60-kDa glycoprotein (gp60) gene is a frequently used tool for investigation of the genetic diversity and transmission dynamics of Cryptosporidium. However, few studies have included gp60 sequencing of C. meleagridis. One...
