An introgressed galectin-like protein is a candidate driver of the human tropism in the intestinal parasite <i>Cryptosporidium</i>

2026-04-09

Abstract excerpt

Cryptosporidium spp. are protozoan parasites responsible for diarrheal diseases. In humans, cryptosporidiosis is predominantly caused by the human-specific Cryptosporidium hominis and by Cryptosporidium parvum. This second species has been classically reported as zoonotic, with a host preference for ruminants. However, the recently described subspecies C. parvum anthroponosum has been found to be restricted to...
