Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium parvum is a common enteric protozoan pathogen of humans and livestock. Multilocus genotyping based on simple sequence repeat polymorphisms has been used extensively to identify transmission cycles and to investigate the structure of C. parvum populations and of the related pathogen Cryptosporidiumhominis. Using such methods, the zoonotic transmission of C. parvum has been shown to be...
