Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic variability of a large collection of European samples of the zoonotic pathogen Cryptosporidium parvum has been recently explored on the basis of a novel multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) scheme. In this work, we assessed the usefulness of this scheme to type C. parvum samples from Italy, a country where this pathogen is widespread and associated with human infections. METHODS: Polymerase...
