Differentiating human from animal isolates of Cryptosporidium parvum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyzed 92 Cryptosporidium parvum isolates from humans and animals by a polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism method based on the thrombospondin-related anonymous protein 2 gene sequence. Used as a molecular marker, this method can differentiate between the two genotypes of C. parvum and elucidate the transmission of infection to humans.

Background: Cryptosporidiosis is prevalent in animals and human beings, both immuno-competent and immuno-compromised persons, worldwide. Epidemiologically, it is important to differentiate between human and animal species. The aim of this study is to define the utility of a 1055 bp fragment of 18s rRNA for differentiation of Human and Cattle Cryptosporidiosis. Material and methods: 1020 human...
متن کاملMultilocus genotypic analysis of Cryptosporidium parvum isolates from different hosts and geographical origins.
The genetic analysis of oocysts recovered from the stools of humans and animals infected with Cryptosporidium parvum has consistently shown the existence of two distinct genotypes. One of the genotypes is found exclusively in some human infections, whereas the other genotype is found in human as well as in animal infections. On the basis of these observations and the results of published epidem...

Cryptosporidium parasite is a cause of diarrhea in humans and other cold and endotherm animals that have been widely distributed throughout the world. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium in children with diarrhea using the GP60 gene by Polymerase Chain Reaction Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. In this study, stool specimens were coll...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Cryptosporidium isolates from humans and animals in Iran.
Isolates of Cryptosporidium spp. from human and animal hosts in Iran were characterized on the basis of both the 18S rRNA gene and the Laxer locus. Three Cryptosporidium species, C. hominis, C. parvum, and C. meleagridis, were recognized, and zoonotically transmitted C. parvum was the predominant species found in humans.
