Quantitation of Cryptosporidium hominis Oocyst Shedding in a Rodent Model of Human Cryptosporidiosis by Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
A real time or quantitative polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR or qPCR) was developed to quantitate Cryptosporidium hominis oocysts shed in the feces of experimentally infected gerbils serving as a model for human cryptosporidiosis. Primers specific for the Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein (COWP),...
