Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity within cryptosporidium parvum and related cryptosporidium species
Lihua Xiao,Una M. Morgan,Josef Limor,Ananias A. Escalante,Michael J. Arrowood,William P. Shulaw,R.C.A. Thompson,Ronald Fayer,Altaf A. Lal +8 more
TL;DR: A need for revision in the taxonomy and assessment of the zoonotic potential of some animal C. parvum isolates is indicated, because extensive genetic diversities were present among C. Parvum genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic polymorphism among cryptosporidium parvum isolates: evidence of two distinct human transmission cycles
Peng Mm,Lihua Xiao,A. R. Freeman,Michael J. Arrowood,Ananias A. Escalante,Andre Weltman,Corinne S. L. Ong,Mac Kenzie Wr,A.A. Lal,Charles B. Beard +9 more
TL;DR: The results of molecular analysis of 39 isolates of Cryptosporidium parvum from human and bovine sources in nine human outbreaks and from bovines from a wide geographic distribution support the occurrence of two distinct transmission cycles of C. parVum in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of primate malaria parasites based on the gene encoding cytochrome b from the linear mitochondrial genome.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the biologic traits, such as periodicity and the capacity to relapse, have limited value for assessing the phylogenetic relationships among Plasmodium species, and it is proposed that the genus Plas modium is polyphyletic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two Nonrecombining Sympatric Forms of the Human Malaria Parasite Plasmodium ovale Occur Globally
Colin J. Sutherland,Naowarat Tanomsing,Debbie Nolder,Mary C. Oguike,Charlie Jennison,Sasithon Pukrittayakamee,Christiane Dolecek,Tran Tinh Hien,Virgílio E. do Rosário,Ana Paula Arez,João Pinto,Pascal Michon,Ananias A.

Day,Nicholas P. J. Day,Georges Snounou,Georges Snounou,Peter J. Lockhart,Peter L. Chiodini,Mallika Imwong,Spencer D. Polley +31 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that P. ovale comprises 2 nonrecombining species that are sympatric in Africa and Asia and speculate on possible scenarios that could have led to this speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of the malarial genus Plasmodium, derived from rRNA gene sequences
TL;DR: The remote phylogenetic relationship between the two bird parasites, Plas modium gallinaceum and Plasmodium lophurae, and any of the human parasites provides no support for the hypothesis that infection by PlasModium falciparum is a recent acquisition of humans, possibly coincident with the onset of agriculture.
