چکیده

Background: Cryptosporidiosis is one of the most important parasitic diseases infecting a broad variety of animals and humans. In thepresent study, Nested PCR-RFLP-based assay was applied for genotyping of sheep cryptosporidiosis. The target of amplification was the 18SrRNA gene used to identify Cryptosporidium speciesMaterials and Methods: In the first step, 1300 faecal samples were collected from sheep in Tehran province, then the samples wereexamined for the presence of Cryptosporidium using modified acid fast staining. In the second step, DNA was extracted from the positivesamples. Next, 18S rRNA gene was amplified by Nested-PCR in order to differentiate between the species. The PCR product was digested bySsp1 restriction enzyme.Results: Twenty two positive sheep samples were detected by modified acid fast method. The results were confirmed by moleculartechniques. The 845 bp fragment of 18S rRNA was digested by restriction enzymes. Twenty samples showed a similar band on 2.5% agarosegel whereas 2 samples demonstrated different pattern. The sequences of two patterns indicated two species of C. andersoni and C. parvum.Conclusion: In spite of other studies results introducing C. parvum as the major agent of cryptosporidiosis in sheep, in our study, C.andersoni was found to be dominant.

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
