| molecular characterisation of cryptosporidium parvum from two large suspected waterborne outbreaks. outbreak control team south and west devon 1995, incident management team and further epidemiological and microbiological studies subgroup north thames 1997. | polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr/rflp) analysis of the cryptosporidium parvum outer wall protein (cowp) gene was applied to specimens collected from 95 patients with cryptosporidiosis associated with two suspected waterborne outbreaks, 46 sporadic human cases and 62 infected livestock from other areas, and 12 patients infected with other gastrointestinal parasites. ninety-six per cent of c. parvum isolates from patients linked to the two suspected waterborn ... | 1998 | 9854879 |
| foot and mouth disease and cryptosporidiosis: possible interaction between two emerging infectious diseases. | during 2001, a large outbreak of foot and mouth disease occurred in the united kingdom, during which approximately 2,030 confirmed cases of the disease were reported, >6 million animals were slaughtered, and strict restrictions on access to the countryside were imposed. we report a dramatic decline in the reported incidence of human cryptosporidiosis in northwest england during weeks 13-38 in 2001, compared with the previous 11 years. this decline coincided with the period of foot and mouth rest ... | 2003 | 12533291 |
| zoonotic linkage and variation in cryptosporidium parvum from patients in the united kingdom. | relationships between patient exposure risks and variation within the cryptosporidium parvum 60 kda glycoprotein (gp60) gene were explored in samples isolated from human cases of cryptosporidiosis (n=69) in england and wales. gp60 family iia predominated (n=56), followed by iid (n=9). one case was iic, a newly named genotype iica5g3j, and isolates from three cases did not amplify with the gp60 primers. cases with gp60 family iia were more likely than iid to have visited a farm, or had contact wi ... | 2010 | 21193928 |
