For the first time, Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts were identified in fecal and intestinal samples from free-ranging marine turtles, Chelonia mydas, from the Hawaiian Islands. The oocysts produced positive reactions with commercial test kits recommended for the detection of human-infectious waterborne oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum.
首次在来自夏威夷群岛的自由放养的玳瑁(Chelonia mydas)的粪便和肠道样本中鉴定出 Cryptosporidium sp. 卵囊。这些卵囊与推荐用于检测人感染性水生 Cryptosporidium parvum 卵囊的商业检测试剂盒产生了阳性反应。
