The internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS-1) of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) from GD, HN, and AH strains ofCryptosporidium andersoniwas amplified and sequenced to assess whether the ITS-1 rDNA could be used as genetic markers ofC. andersonifrom different geographic origins in China and to differentiateC. andersonifrom otherCryptosporidiumspecies. The result showed that the ITS-1 sequences of GD, HN, and AH strains were basically identical, which were unequivocally different with the sequences of theCryptosporidium murisandCryptosporidium parvumregistered in the GenBank; however, the ITS-1 sequence of the AH strain differed at three bases compared with that of the other two strains. Our study indicates that the ITS-1 sequences provide useful genetic markers for the identification and differentiation ofC. andersonispecies and also lay down the foundation for diagnostics of cryptosporidiosis.
