Intraspecific diversity of Vibrio vulnificus in Galveston Bay water and oysters as determined by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA PCR

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on temporal and spatial intraspecific diversity of Vibrio vulnificus strains isolated from Galveston Bay water and oysters. The authors suggest that genetic diversity of these strains exist in Galveston Bay water and oysters, and that environmental conditions are responsible for the species' population structure.

Improved quantitative estimates of low environmental loading and sporadic periparturient shedding of Cryptosporidium parvum in adult beef cattle

Article Abstract:

The authors describe their research of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts environmental loading rate by California beef cows. The goal of the research has been to generate estimate of this rate based on a highly sensitive diagnostic assays for defecting and enumerating C. parvum oocysts in cattle feces.
