A comparison of sequence and length polymorphism for genotyping Cryptosporidium isolates.

Abstract excerpt

Simple sequence repeat markers have played an important role in elucidating the epidemiology of human and animal cryptosporidiosis. The drawback of sequence length polymorphisms is that nucleotide substitutions remain undetected. As some laboratories have opted for using length polymorphisms, while others have relied on sequencing, there is a need to compare both methods. We used a diversified set of unique...
