Generating and Maintaining Transgenic <i>Cryptosporidium parvum</i> Parasites

Abstract excerpt

The apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium is a leading cause of diarrheal disease and an important contributor to overall global child mortality. We currently lack effective treatment and immune prophylaxis. Recent advances now permit genetic modification of this important pathogen. We expect this to produce rapid advances in fundamental as well as translational research on cryptosporidiosis. Here we outline...
