Cryptosporidium parvum One of the most prevalent protozoan parasites of humans Lineage: Eukaryota[15558]; Sar[553]; Alveolata[174]; Apicomplexa[80]; Conoidasida[39]; Coccidia[34]; Eucoccidiorida[34]; Eimeriorina[34]; Cryptosporidiidae[16]; Cryptosporidium[16]; Cryptosporidium parvum[1]

Cryptosporidium parvum. Cryptosporidium parvum is an obligate intracellular parasite of the phylum Apicomplexa and has a complex life cycle, with multiple asexual and sexual developmental stages. It is a causal agent of acute diarrheal disease in humans and animals and has emerged as a very important pathogen worldwide due to its More...morbidity and mortatility in AIDS patients. Moreover, it is a major cause of acute and fatal diarrhea in children living in Tropical countries. Despite its significance, little is known about this parasite's biology and specific chemo- or immunotherapies to treat cryptosporidiosis are yet to be developed. Less...
