Gene silencing in <i>Cryptosporidium</i> : A rapid approach to identify novel targets for drug development

2019-05-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Cryptosporidiosis is a major cause of diarrheal disease. However, the only drug approved for cryptosporidiosis does not work well in high risk populations. Therefore, novel drugs are urgently needed. Then, the identification of novel is necessary to develop new therapies against this parasite. Recently, we have developed a rapid method to block gene expression in Cryptosporidium by using pre-...
