Abstract excerpt
Parasites of the genus Cryptosporidium infect the intestinal and gastric epithelium of different vertebrate species. Some of the many Cryptosporidium species described to date differ with respect to host range; whereas some species' host range appears to be narrow, others have been isolated from taxonomically unrelated vertebrates. To begin to investigate the genetic basis of Cryptosporidium host specificity, the...
