A suture-specific oocyst wall protein COWP4 is essential for excystation and infectivity, while COWP6 links wall architecture to host interaction in <i>Cryptosporidium parvum</i>

2026-05-06

Abstract excerpt

The oocyst of Cryptosporidium is a highly resilient transmission stage that protects sporozoites in the environment and mediates infection through a specialized opening known as the suture. While recent studies have identified Cryptosporidium oocyst wall proteins (COWPs) as structural components of the oocyst wall, the functional roles of individual COWPs and the molecular basis of suture biology remain poorly u...
