The two recognized genotypes (types 1 and 2) of\n            <jats:italic>C. parvum<\/jats:italic>\n            could be readily differentiated by a distinct electrophoretic shift in the pSSU SSCP profile, associated with a nucleotide difference of \u223c1.3 to 1.7%. Of the 102 samples from cases contracted during foreign travel, 88 (86.3%) were identified as\n            <jats:italic>C. parvum<\/jats:italic>\n            type 1 and 14 (13.7%) were identified as type 2. For outbreak samples, unequivocal differentiation between type 1 (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 20; one child nursery outbreak) and type 2 (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 62; two waterborne outbreaks) was also achieved. Nucleotide variation in pITS-2 (both within and among samples representing each genotype) was substantially greater (10 to 13 different profiles for each genotype, relating to sequence differences of \u223c1 to 42%) than that in pSSU. SSCP analysis of pITS-2 for all samples revealed that some profiles had a broad geographical distribution whereas others were restricted to particular locations, suggesting a link between some subgenotypes and the geographical origin or source. Comparative denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis revealed the same genotypic identification and a similar subgenotypic classification of samples as SSCP analysis. The findings of this study, particularly the detection of intragenotypic variation by SSCP, should have significant diagnostic implications for investigating transmission patterns and the monitoring of outbreaks.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.69.5.2719-2730.2003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,5,5]],"date-time":"2003-05-05T22:24:13Z","timestamp":1052173453000},"page":"2719-2730","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Electrophoretic Analysis of Genetic Variability within\n            <i>Cryptosporidium parvum<\/i>\n            from Imported and Autochthonous Cases of Human Cryptosporidiosis in the United Kingdom"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"R.
