Representative presentation of PCR products generated from <i>Cryptosporidium</i> gp60 gene from fecal specimens on 2% agarose electrophoretic gel.

<p>M: 100-bp DNA marker, with molecular size indicated in base-pair unit for prominent band. NC: Negative control/DNA blank (PCR mixture plus the product of the first negative control which was used in the primary PCR as template). PC: Positive control (<i>Cryptosporidium parvum</i> H3 isolate). Lanes 1–6: Secondary PCR product from <i>Cryptosporidium</i> positive specimens.</p

<p>Isolate or strain names are as provided in Genbank as available, followed by accession numbers in parentheses. Sequences generated in this study (designated ‘LM(S), LF(S)’ followed by clones ‘^a,b,c,d’) are in red font. <i>Proteromonas </i><i>lacerate</i> (accession number U37108) served as the out-group. Bootstrap values (%) are indicated at the internal nodes (1,000 replicates). Bootstrap values of less than 50% are not shown.</p
