SKSR1 identified as key virulence factor in <i>Cryptosporidium</i> by genetic crossing
2024-01-29
Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium parvum is a major cause of severe diarrhea. Although isolates of this zoonotic parasite exhibit significant differences in infectivity and virulence, the genetic determinants for these traits are not clear. In this study, we used classical genetics to cross two C. parvum isolates of different virulence and used bulked segregant analysis of whole-genome sequence data from the progeny to identify qu...
