Evolutionary epidemiology of a zoonosis

2021-10-16

Abstract excerpt

Cryptosporidium parvum is a global zoonoses and a major cause of diarrhoea in humans and ruminants. The parasite’s life cycle comprises an obligatory sexual phase, during which genetic exchanges can occur between previously isolated lineages. Here, we compare 32 whole genome sequences from human- and ruminant-derived parasite isolates collected across Europe, Egypt and China. We identify three strongly supported c...
