Detection and genotyping of Cryptosporidium spp. in diarrheic stools by PCR/RFLP analyses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Materials and methods: Stool samples from diarrheic patients admitted to Dokuz Eylül University Medical Faculty were collected on a specifi c day of the week. Stool samples sent to our laboratory from patients aff ected by a diarrhea epidemic in İzmir were also included in the study. A total of 162 stool samples were examined by microscopic and molecular methods, and the validity of the molecular method was investigated.

متن کاملEvaluation of Cryptosporidium parvum genotyping techniques.
We evaluated the specificity and sensitivity of 11 previously described species differentiation and genotyping PCR protocols for detection of Cryptosporidium parasites. Genomic DNA from three species of Cryptosporidium parasites (genotype 1 and genotype 2 of C. parvum, C. muris, and C. serpentis), two Eimeria species (E. neischulzi and E. papillata), and Giardia duodenalis were used to evaluate...
