| direct comparison of selected methods for genetic categorisation of cryptosporidium parvum and cryptosporidium hominis species. | a study was undertaken to compare the performance of five different molecular methods (available in four different laboratories) for the identification of cryptosporidium parvum and cryptosporidium hominis and the detection of genetic variation within each of these species. the same panel of oocyst dna samples derived from faeces (n=54; coded blindly) was sent for analysis by: (i) dna sequence analysis of a fragment of the hsp70 gene; (ii) dna sequence analysis and the ssrrna gene in laboratory ... | 2005 | 15777916 |
| multilocus analysis of cryptosporidium hominis and cryptosporidium parvum isolates from sporadic and outbreak-related human cases and c. parvum isolates from sporadic livestock cases in the united kingdom. | cryptosporidium parvum and cryptosporidium hominis isolates from sporadic, drinking water-associated, and intrafamilial human cases together with c. parvum isolates from sporadic cases in livestock were collected in the united kingdom between 1995 and 1999. the isolates were characterized by analysis of three microsatellite markers (ml1, gp15, and ms5) using pcr amplification. within c. hominis, four alleles were detected within the gp15 and ms5 loci, and a single type was detected with ml1. c. ... | 2007 | 17687021 |
| cryptosporidium infection in non-human hosts in malawi. | of 1346 faecal samples from the chikwawa and thyolo districts of malawi, analysed for the presence of cryptosporidium oocysts between october 2001 and may 2003, 61.3% were from cattle (29.8% of these were from calves <6 months old). cryptosporidium oocysts were detected during all three seasons studied in chikwawa and thyolo. in chikwawa, 13.6% of adult cattle and 11.7% of calves were infected, compared to 28.9% of adult cattle and 36.7% of calves in thyolo. dependent on season, between 7.8% and ... | 2009 | 21344786 |

| prevalence and genetic characterization of cryptosporidium isolates from common brushtail possums (trichosurus vulpecula) adapted to urban settings. | the common brushtail possum (trichosurus vulpecula) is one of the most abundant native marsupials in urban australia, having successfully adapted to utilize anthropogenic resources. the habituation of possums to food and shelter available in human settlements has facilitated interaction with people, pets, and zoo animals, increasing the potential for transmission of zoonotic cryptosporidium pathogens. this study sought to examine the identity and prevalence of cryptosporidium species occurring i ... | 2008 | 18641156 |
| sheep may not be an important zoonotic reservoir for cryptosporidium and giardia parasites. | little is known of the prevalence of cryptosporidium and giardia parasites in sheep and the genotypes that they harbor, although potentially sheep may contribute significantly to contamination of watersheds. in the present study, conducted in western australia, a total of 1,647 sheep fecal samples were screened for the presence of cryptosporidium and giardia spp. using microscopy, and a subset (n = 500) were screened by pcr and genotyped. analysis revealed that although both parasites were detec ... | 2005 | 16151078 |
