| patterns of cryptosporidium oocyst shedding by eastern grey kangaroos inhabiting an australian watershed. | the occurrence of cryptosporidium oocysts in feces from a population of wild eastern grey kangaroos inhabiting a protected watershed in sydney, australia, was investigated. over a 2-year period, cryptosporidium oocysts were detected in 239 of the 3,557 (6.7%) eastern grey kangaroo fecal samples tested by using a combined immunomagnetic separation and flow cytometric technique. the prevalence of cryptosporidium in this host population was estimated to range from 0.32% to 28.5%, with peaks occurri ... | 2005 | 16204534 |
| glycoprotein 60 diversity in c. hominis and c. parvum causing human cryptosporidiosis in nsw, australia. | management and control of cryptosporidiosis in human requires knowledge of cryptosporidium species contributing to human disease. markers that are able to provide information below the species level have become important tools for source tracking. using the hypervariable surface antigen, glycoprotein 60 (gp60), c. hominis (n=37) and c. parvum (n=32) isolates from cryptosporidiosis cases in new south wales, australia, were characterised. extensive variation was observed within this locus and the ... | 2009 | 19233175 |
