[HTML][HTML] Proteomics Analysis and Protein Expression during Sporozoite Excystation of Cryptosporidium parvum (Coccidia, Apicomplexa)* S
Cryptosporidiosis, caused by coccidian parasites of the genus Cryptosporidium, is a major
cause of human gastrointestinal infections and poses a significant health risk especially to
immunocompromised patients. Despite intensive efforts for more than 20 years, there is
currently no effective drug treatment against these protozoa. This study examined the
zoonotic species Cryptosporidium parvum at two important stages of its life cycle: the non-
excysted (transmissive) and excysted (infective) forms. To increase our understanding of the …
