Molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium isolates from humans and animals in Iran
Appl Environ Microbiol.
2007 Feb.
Abstract
Isolates of Cryptosporidium spp. from human and animal hosts in Iran were characterized on the basis of both the 18S rRNA gene and the Laxer locus. Three Cryptosporidium species, C. hominis, C. parvum, and C. meleagridis, were recognized, and zoonotically transmitted C. parvum was the predominant species found in humans.
