Validation of a multilocus genotyping scheme for subtyping Cryptosporidium parvum for epidemiological purposes
11 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Subtyping Cryptosporidium parvum for outbreak investigations or epidemiological surveillance usually relies on DNA sequence analysis of a gene coding for a 60 KDa glycoprotein (gp60). Although gp60 can be useful for allelic discrimination and to help investigate sources and routes of transmission, the presence of common subtypes and recombination during the parasite's sexual life-cycle demand a multilocus-based...
