ABSTRACT:
A method and kit for the detection of Cryptosporidium parvum in aquatic and biological samples such as surface water or feces. The method relies on the use of primers to detect all or a portion of at least one DNA sequence characteristic of C. parvum, the sequence being all or part of the genomic regions referred to as 38G and HemA contained within recombinant plasmids pINV38G, and pHem4, respectively.
