Molecular diagnostic tools have been used recently in assessing the taxonomy, zoonotic
potential, and transmission of Giardia species and giardiasis in humans and animals. The …

There has been an explosion of descriptions of new species of Cryptosporidium during the
last two decades. This has been accompanied by confusion regarding the criteria for species …

Molecular tools have been developed to detect and differentiate Cryptosporidium at the
species/genotype and subtype levels. These tools have been increasingly used in characterizing …

Biological data support the hypothesis that there are multiple species in the genus Cryptosporidium,
but a recent analysis of the available genetic data suggested that there is insufficient …

Cryptosporidium spp are well recognised as causes of diarrhoeal disease during waterborne
epidemics and in immunocompromised hosts. Studies have also drawn attention to an …

From the microscopic observation of infection to the widespread application of molecular
techniques in taxonomy and epidemiology, to the genome sequencing of two major species …

The current outbreak of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) poses unprecedented
challenges to global health 1 . The new coronavirus responsible for this outbreak—severe acute …

To address the source of infection in humans and public health importance of Giardia duodenalis
parasites from animals, nucleotide sequences of the triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) …

Cryptosporidium is increasingly recognized as one of the major causes of moderate to
severe diarrhoea in developing countries. With treatment options limited, control relies on …

The molecular characterisation of species and genotypes of Cryptosporidium and Giardia is
essential for accurately identifying organisms and assessing zoonotic transmission. Results …
