Genetic characterization and transmission cycles of Cryptosporidium species isolated from humans in New Zealand
Article Abstract:
Genetic difference was identified among the Cryptosporidium species from rural and urban isolates in New Zealand, the Cryptosporidium hominis was more common in the urban area and the Cryptosporidium parvum bovine genes were more common among the rural areas. It was further noticed that the transmission cycles also changed like the anthroponotic cycle in autumn and the zoonotic cycle in spring.

Validation of a PCR-based method for detection of food-borne thermotolerant campylobacters in a multicenter collaborative trial
Article Abstract:
A technique dependent on the PCR for speedily identifying the food-borne thermotolerant campylobacters was analyzed thoroughly in a collaborative trial at 12 laboratories, which tested the spiked carcass rinse models. A complete standard operating procedure (SOP) that specified all the details about how to conduct the pre-PCR treatment and the PCR assay were supplied to all the 12 laboratories.
