Identification of rare and novel Cryptosporidium GP60 subtypes in human isolates from Jordan.
Little is known about the epidemiology of Cryptosporidium in Jordan and no genotyping studies have been conducted on Cryptosporidium isolates from humans or animals from Jordan. Genotyping of 44 Cryptosporidium isolates from Jordanian children at the 18S rRNA locus and a unique diagnostic locus identified four Cryptosporidium species; C. parvum (22), C. hominis (20), C. meleagridis (1) and C. c...
متن کاملA Multi-locus Study for Detection of Cryptosporidium Species Isolated from Calves Population, Liverpool UK
Cryptosporidium is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite infecting a wide range of hosts. The current study investigated the genetic profile of Cryptosporidium species in calves in Liverpool, England. Fifty-two calve fecal samples were collected from a farm and initially screened by Auramine phenol, modified Ziehl-Neelsen and ELISA. PCR analysis of 18S rRNA gene was carried out for the p...
متن کاملHigh applicability of a novel method for gp60-based subtyping of Cryptosporidium meleagridis.
Cryptosporidium meleagridis is a common cause of cryptosporidiosis in avian hosts and the third most common species involved in human cryptosporidiosis. Sequencing of the highly polymorphic 60-kDa glycoprotein (gp60) gene is a frequently used tool for investigation of the genetic diversity and transmission dynamics of Cryptosporidium. However, few studies have included gp60 sequencing of C. mel...
متن کاملIdentification of novel and zoonotic Cryptosporidium species in fish from Papua New Guinea.
There is still limited information on the distribution of Cryptosporidium species and genotypes in fish. The present study investigated the prevalence of Cryptosporidium species in cultured freshwater (n=132), wild freshwater (n=206) and wild marine (n=276) fish in Papua New Guinea (PNG) by PCR screening at the 18S rRNA locus. A total of seven fish (2 cultured freshwater, 1 wild freshwater and ...
متن کاملA Multi-Locus Study of Cryptosporidium Parasites Isolated From Patients Living In Iran, Malawi, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam
BACKGROUND Cryptosporidium species are important cause of diarrheal diseases in both developing and developed countries. This study aimed to compare the performance of several molecular methods for identification of Cryptosporidium species, and to detect genetic variation among each of these species isolated from Iran, Malawi, Nigeria, Vietnam and the United Kingdom. METHODS The oocysts DNA s...
