This study characterized cryptosporidial infections in 48 human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals in India by multilocus genotyping. Cryptosporidium hominis, C. parvum, C. felis, C. muris, and C. meleagridis were identified. Cpgp40/15 PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism identified six subgenotypes. Cryptosporidial diarrhea was associated with decreased CD4 counts, below 200 (P = 0.009), but not high viral loads.
