Genetic analysis of a Cryptosporidium parvum human genotype 1 isolate passaged through different host species.
Cryptosporidium parvum TU502, a genotype 1 isolate of human origin, was passaged through three different mammalian hosts, including humans, pigs, and calves. It was confirmed to be genotype 1 by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein gene, direct sequencing of PCR fragments of the small subunit rRNA and beta-tubulin genes, and microsatel...

This report describes a case of cryptosporidiosis from an immunocompetent patient from Perth, Western Australia, suffering from diarrhea and a spectrum of other symptoms. Molecular identification revealed that this patient was infected with three Cryptosporidium species-Cryptosporidium meleagridis, the Cryptosporidium mink genotype, and an unknown Cryptosporidium species.
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of Cryptosporidium Species in Children with Diarrhea in North West of Iran
Cryptosporidium is one of the most common causes of childhood diarrhea in developing countries. The aim of this randomized pilot study was to detect and characterize infective species and determine the genotypes of Cryptosporidium parasites in pediatric patients suffering from diarrhea in North West of Iran.

متن کاملMolecular analysis of 18S rRNA gene of Cryptosporidium parasites from patients living in Iran, Malawi, Nigeria and Vietnam
Cryptosporidium species are one of the most common causes of gastrointestinal infection in humans around the world. This study has aimed to investigate the hyper variable region of the 18S rRNA gene in Cryptosporidium for exact parasite identification . DNA was extracted from 26 fecal samples from which initially Cryptosporidium oocysts were identified by Ziehl-Neelsen acid-fast , Auramine ...
