All data on specific genotypes and subtypes are based on sequence analysis.
Cryptosporidium data from Shanghai wastewater samples were previously reported in [16].
Concurrent presence of IbA19G2 and IbA21G2 was found in one sample.
Concurrent presence of IdA16 and IeA12G3T3 was found in one sample.
A total of 60 (109) were positive for C. muris by SspI and DdeI RFLP analysis.
No. of positive samples/No. of samples (positivity in percentage) based on PCR analysis of the SSU rRNA gene.
