چکیده

Background: to date,cryptosporidium cuniculus has been found exclusively in rabbits and humans. the present study provides the first published molecular evidence for c. cuniculus in an australian human patient as well as a kangaroo. findings: using pcr-based sequencing of regions in the actin,60 kda glycoprotein (gp60) and small subunit of ribosomal rna (ssu) genes,we identified a new and unique c. cuniculus genotype (akin to vba25) from a human,and c. cuniculus genotype vba26 from an eastern grey kangaroo (macropus giganteus) in australia. conclusions: the characterisation of these genotypes raises questions as to their potential to infect humans and/or other animals in australia,given that c. cuniculus has been reported to cause cryptosporidiosis outbreaks in europe. © 2014 koehler et al.
