Abstract
The genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. from infected children was characterized for the first time in Bangladesh. Seven C. hominis and C. parvum subtype families (including a new family, IIm) and 15 subtypes (including 2 new subtypes) were identified. The dominance of specific families and subtypes was different from that in other countries.
Highlights
The genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. from infected children was characterized for the first time in Bangladesh
Cryptosporidiosis is widely prevalent in Bangladesh [2, 4, 16, 19, 20, 23, 24], there have been no studies on the genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. in this country
All 67 PCR-positive samples were analyzed by PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) at the 18S rRNA locus for species determination [30]
Summary
The genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. from infected children was characterized for the first time in Bangladesh. Cryptosporidiosis is widely prevalent in Bangladesh [2, 4, 16, 19, 20, 23, 24], there have been no studies on the genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium spp. in this country.
