Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of isolates ofCryptosporidium parvum has revealed two subgroups, termed H and C. The limited resolution of the RFLP method precludes an in-depth study of the genetic structure ofC. parvum populations. PublishedC. parvum restriction polymorphisms lie within protein-coding regions known to be more homogeneous than noncoding sequences. To better assess the degrees of heterogeneity between and withinC. parvum isolates, sequence polymorphism in the β-tubulin intron, the onlyC. parvum intron described to date, was investigated. In contrast to the two genotypes distinguished by multilocus RFLP, several alleles were detected by sequence and RFLP analysis of the β-tubulin intron and adjacent exon 2. Isolates carrying different β-tubulin alleles were found. Significantly, one of the β-tubulin alleles present in two geographically unrelated isolates combined features of C- and H-type isolates, suggesting that it might have arisen from a recombination event. A comparison of multiple samples of a calf-propagated laboratory isolate showed that the ratio of different β-tubulin alleles fluctuated during serial passage.
