For 25 years, analysis of the gp60 gene has been the cornerstone of Cryptosporidium subtyping, particularly for Cryptosporidium hominis and Cryptosporidium parvum, during population-based and epidemiological studies. This gene, which encodes a 60 kDa glycoprotein, is highly polymorphic with several...
