Phylogenomic reconstruction of <i>Cryptosporidium</i> spp. captured directly from clinical samples reveals extensive genetic diversity
2024-04-18
Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium is a leading cause of severe diarrhea and mortality in young children and infants in Africa and southern Asia. More than twenty Cryptosporidium species infect humans, of which C. parvum and C. hominis are the major agents causing moderate to severe diarrhea. Relatively few genetic markers are typically applied to genotype and/or diagnose Cryptosporidium . Most infections produce limited oocysts...
