Figure 1

Phylogenetic tree appearance of intestinal protozoan isolated from COVID-19 patients. Phylogenetic tree of the different gene region nucleotide sequences of intestinal protozoans isolated from COVID-19 disease.The tree was constructed using Tamura 3-parameter model in MEGA software version 6.05. Bootstrap values shown are based on 100 replicas. Bar represents genetic distance as reflected by nucleotide divergence. Bootstrap analysis showed a high degree of variant between 0.05 and 0.07 of C. parvum isolates isolated from recurrent COVID-19 patients.

Variants in Cryptosporidium parvum nucleotide sequences isolated from recurrent COVID-19 patients. The results of DNA sequencing of C. parvum isolates and alignment of them. C. parvum (ref): ATCC PRA-67DQ™; C. parvum var 1 was isolated from recurrent COVID-19 patients. The most variable region consists of between 120 bp and 200 bp.
