SKSR1 identified as key virulence factor in Cryptosporidium by genetic crossing
Abstract Cryptosporidium is a major cause of severe diarrhea. Although Cryptosporidium isolates exhibit significant differences in infectivity and virulence, the genetic determinants for these traits are not clear. In this study, we use classical genetics to cross two Cryptosporidium parvum isolates...
