| Abstract | We investigated the application of an oligonucleotide microarray to (i) specifically detect Cryptosporidium spp., (ii) differentiate between closely related C. parvum isolates and Cryptosporidium species, and (iii) differentiate between principle genotypes known to infect humans. A microarray of 68 capture probes targeting seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within a 190-bp region of the hsp70 gene of Cryptosporidium parvum was constructed. Labeled hsp70 targets were generated by PCR with biotin- or Cy3-labeled primers. Hybridization conditions were optimized for hybridization time, temperature, and salt concentration. Two genotype I C. parvum isolates (TU502 and UG502), two C. parvum genotype II isolates (Iowa and GCH1), and DNAs from 22 non-Cryptosporidium sp. organisms were used to test method specificity. Only DNAs from C. parvum isolates produced labeled amplicons that could be hybridized to and detected on the array. Hybridization patterns between genotypes were visually distinct, but identification of SNPs required statistical analysis of the signal intensity data. The results indicated that correct mismatch discrimination could be achieved for all seven SNPs for the UG502 isolate, five of seven SNPs for the TU502 isolate, and six of seven SNPs for both the Iowa and GCH1 isolates. Even without perfect mismatch discrimination, the microarray method unambiguously distinguished between genotype I and genotype II isolates and demonstrated the potential to differentiate between other isolates and species on a single microarray. This method may provide a powerful new tool for water utilities and public health officials for assessing point and nonpoint source contamination of water supplies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
