Molecular Diagnosis and Typing of Cryptosporidium spp. Species in Human Stools with Diarrhea

Cryptosporidiosis is an important public health issue as it is a zoonotic disease caused by the <i>Cryptosporidium</i> parasite that can be transmitted from animals to humans. This study focuses on the molecular characterization of <i>Cryptosporidium</i> species detected in human fecal samples, which is significant for understanding which specific strains or species are involved in human infections. According to the findings, it is recommended that control measures be implemented to reduce the risk of exposure to <i>Cryptosporidium</i> in both humans and animals in Türkiye.
