Amplicon sequencing detects, identifies, and quantifies minority variants in mixed-species infections of Cryptosporidium parasites.

Abstract excerpt

Cryptosporidium is a globally endemic parasite genus with over 40 recognized species. While C. hominis and C. parvum are responsible for most human infections, human cases involving other species have also been reported.
