Cryptosporidium GP60 genotypes from humans and domesticated animals in Australia, North America and Europe
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To investigate the molecular epidemiology of Cryptosporidium species in children in Australia, fecal specimens from 50 Australian children with gastrointestinal symptoms and seven isolates from Australian neonatal dairy calves were genotyped and sub-genotyped at the 18S rDNA and GP60 loci, respectively, and compared with human and animal isolates collected from Europe, the US and Canada (n = 35). Results revealed that the majority of the Australian human isolates were infected with C. hominis (41/50), while the remainder were infected with C. parvum. All the Australian cattle as well as cattle from US, Canada, UK and Switzerland were infected with C. parvum. Subtyping of 92 Cryptosporidium isolates at the GP60 locus identified seven subtype families of which six were identified in Australian isolates; four C. hominis subtypes and two C. parvum subtypes. Results suggest that although transmission is largely anthroponotic in Australia, cattle may be a source of sporadic human infections.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
