Genotypes of cryptosporidium species infecting fur-bearing mammals differ from those of species infecting humans
Article Abstract:
An attempt is made to determine if Cryptosporidium infections are present in wild mammals living in Chesapeake Bay watersheds and to determine the prevalence and species of cryptosporidium by molecular methods. The fur-bearing mammals in watersheds exerted host-adapted Cryptosporidium oocysts that are not known to be significant public health importance.

Identification of potentially human-pathogenic Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotypes in various birds
Article Abstract:
A study detected Enterocytozoon bieneusi in 24 of 83 samples from birds of the orders Columbiformes, Passeriformes, and Psittaciformes. It is identical to or closely related to the Peru6 genotype, which was previously found in humans in Peru.
