T1 - Tracking Cryptosporidium parvum by Sequence Analysis of Small Double-Stranded RNA T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2001 VL - 7 IS - 1 SP - 141 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We sequenced a 173-nucleotide fragment of the small double-stranded viruslike RNA of Cryptosporidium parvum isolates from 23 calves and 38 humans. Sequence diversity was detected at 17 sites. Isolates from the same outbreak had identical double-stranded RNA sequences, suggesting that this technique may be useful for tracking Cryptosporidium infection sources.
