The essential host genome for Cryptosporidium survival exposes metabolic dependencies that can be leveraged for treatment
23 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium is a leading cause of diarrheal disease, yet little is known regarding the infection cell biology of this intracellular intestinal parasite. To this end, we implemented an arrayed genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen to microscopically analyze multiple phenotypic features of a Cryptosporidium infection following individual host gene ablation. We discovered parasite survival within the host...
