Novel gp60 subtypes and genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium felis in domestic and stray cats from Central Europe
The results of this study extend our knowledge of the genetic variability of C. felis and indicate a possible geographical distribution of the detected subtypes. The significance of the observed genetic variability in terms of geographical distribution, host specificity and zoonotic potential remains unclear and requires further investigation.
