DNA analysis and genotypic spectrum of medically important agents of opportunistic parasitosis.

The project is focused on the DNA analysis of medically important agents of opportunistic parasitosis in Slovakia, focusing on cryptosporidiosis, microsporidiosis and other protozoan parasitosis. This project follows the two-year VEGA project 1/108/10; it deepens and expands obtained primary knowledge from the previous VEGA project. Since, in view of the fact that host spectrum of these parasites rapidly expand, obtained data about species and genotypes in livestock, wild animals, pet animals and imunocompromissed humans will the basis for establishment species and genotypic database of the occurrence of these parasites in Slovakia.
