AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed coding regions of double-stranded RNA from three human fecal samples containing different Cryptosporidium species: C. hominis, C. felis, and C. meleagridis.
- The researchers sequenced these regions and compared them to previously reported sequences for C. parvum, finding nucleotide and amino acid sequence similarities of 86% to 92% and 86% to 93%, respectively.
- The resulting sequences will enhance molecular tools for the detection, identification, and characterization of various Cryptosporidium species.
Article Abstract
Coding regions of double stranded RNA molecules from 3 human faecal samples containing Cryptosporidium hominis, C. felis and C. meleagridis were characterised by sequencing and compared with that previously obtained for C. parvum. Sequences outside the coding regions were also obtained. Overall similarities of between 86% and 92% and between 86% and 93% were observed in the nucleotide and amino acid sequences respectively between these species. These larger sequences will allow further molecular tools for detection, identification and characterisation of Cryptosporidium spp.
