Genetic variation in 25 Cryptosporidium isolates was analyzed using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. Simple reproducible polymorphisms were generated (using five primers) from Cryptosporidium DNA that was free of contaminating bacterial DNA. The results generated by four of the five primers were statistically correlated (P < 0.001). The combined data from three primers were used to construct a phenogram using Jaccard's distance. Four groupings could be distinguished. Two C. serpentis isolates from snakes formed a distinct group of their own, whereas C. parvum isolates were divided into two main groups: one containing most human isolates and the other containing mostly domestic animals plus two remaining human isolates. Due to the sensitivity of the RAPD technique, isolates can now be analyzed genetically, directly from fecal samples without further biological amplification. This represents a significant advance on current techniques.

D003458 Cryptosporidium A genus of coccidian parasites of the family CRYPTOSPORIDIIDAE, found in the intestinal epithelium of many vertebrates including humans. Cryptosporidiums
D003670 Deer The family Cervidae of 17 genera and 45 species occurring nearly throughout North America, South America, and Eurasia, on most associated continental islands, and in northern Africa. Wild populations of deer have been established through introduction by people in Cuba, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and other places where the family does not naturally occur. They are slim, long-legged and best characterized by the presence of antlers. Their habitat is forests, swamps, brush country, deserts, and arctic tundra. They are usually good swimmers; some migrate seasonally. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1362) Deers
