MOLECULAR SURVEILLANCE OF CRYPTOSPORIDIUM SPP. FOR MICROBIAL SOURCE TRACKING OF FECAL CONTAMINATION IN LAGUNA LAKE, PHILIPPINES

Water quality deterioration in source waters poses increased health, environmental, and economic risks.Here, we genotyped Cryptosporidium spp.obtained from water samples Pulses of Laguna Lake, Philippines, and its tributaries for the purpose of source-tracking fecal contamination.A total of 104 surface water samples were collected over a 1-year per

Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional gene regulators controlling cellular lineage specification and differentiation during embryonic development, including the gastrointestinal system.However, miRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms involved in early embryonic development of human small intestine (SI) remains under
