Distribution of Cryptosporidium genotypes in storm event water samples from three watersheds in New York
Article Abstract:
The distribution of Cryptosporidium species in the storm water of three watersheds located in the state of New York was compared. It indicates that molecular techniques can complement traditional detection methods by providing information on the source of contamination and the human-infective potential of Cryptosporidium occysts found in water.

Prevalence and identity of Cryptosporidium spp. in pig slurry
Article Abstract:
Cryptosporidium spp. was detected in 25 of 56 pig slurry samples from 33 Irish farms by PCR and DNA sequencing. Results revealed that Cryptosporidium oocysts could persist in treated slurry and potentially contaminate surface water through improper discharge or uncontrolled runoff.

Cryptosporidium genotypes in wildlife from a New York Watershed
Article Abstract:
Cryptosporidium sp. is genotyped in wildlife from the watershed of the New York City drinking water supply to identify the animal sources for Cryptosporidium contamination. Most genotypes are found in limited number of animal species and have no major public health significance.
