Geographic Linkage and Variation inCryptosporidium hominis

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
UK Cryptosporidium hominis isolates have previously shown slight PCR fragment length polymorphism at multiple loci. To further investigate transmission, we conducted a case-control study and sequenced the GP60 locus from 115 isolates. Nine subtypes were identified; IbA10G2 predominated.

Differential evolution of repetitive sequences in Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2006
Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis are two morphologically identical species of Apicomplexan protozoa infecting humans. Although the genomes of these species are 97% identical, their host range is strikingly different. C. parvum infects humans and animals and is primarily a zoonotic infection, whereas C.

Cryptosporidium hominisInfection of the Human Respiratory Tract

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Cryptosporidium oocysts, observed in a natural sputum sample of a patient with HIV, were further studied by using DNA markers to determine the species of the parasite. C. hominis was identified as the species infecting the patient's respiratory tract, a finding that strengthens evidence regarding this pathogen's role in human disease.
