| prevalence and molecular characterization of cryptosporidium spp. and giardia duodenalis in dairy cattle in beijing, china. | 822 fecal samples from cattle in six areas of beijing were examined with microscopy for cryptosporidium oocysts and giardia cysts. the overall infection rates for cryptosporidium spp. and giardia duodenalis were 2.55% and 1.09%, respectively. cryptosporidium was only detected in calves and heifers, whereas g. duodenalis was found in all age groups. cryptosporidium spp. were characterized with a pcr-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and dna sequence analysis of the small subunit ( ... | 2016 | 26921041 |
| molecular identification of cryptosporidium spp. and giardia duodenalis in grazing horses from xinjiang, china. | a total of 262 fecal specimens collected from grazing horses at five locations in xinjiang, china were examined by pcr for cryptosporidium spp. and giardia duodenalis. the cryptosporidium and g. duodenalis infection rates were 2.7% and 1.5%, respectively. seven cryptosporidium-positive specimens were found in foals (16.3%), and four g. duodenalis-positive specimens were found in mares (2.5%). sequence analyses of 18s rrna and gp60 genes revealed that seven animals were positive for the subtype v ... | 2015 | 25794943 |
| prevalence and multilocus genotyping of giardia duodenalis in dairy calves in xinjiang, northwestern china. | giardia duodenalis is an important protozoan parasite. it is an established zoonotic pathogen and dairy calves have been implicated as one of the most important sources of human infection. this study was conducted to assess the prevalence and multilocus genotyping of g. duodenalis in dairy calves in the xinjiang uyghur autonomous region, northwestern china. | 2016 | 27737706 |
